The Slums of Mucht is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Schrkklp Oiuaeie with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 3.775 billion Muchtians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artszlaadh. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Muchtian economy, worth 673 trillion icvieyurnns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 178,506 icvieyurnns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Concussed narwhalball players cannot remember their lineup position, the people's love for Schrkklp Oiuaeie is little more than self-preservation, hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead", and rocket boots and thermal detonators have become standard-issue military gear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mucht's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Namltir.

Mucht is ranked 112,670th in the world and 1,382nd in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,350.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
