The Grand Duchy of Mueslibar is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by The Duke of Nuttyngham with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.31 billion Mueslibarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Oats. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mueslibarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion Raisins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,190 Raisins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sausages are seldom seen in the supermarket, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and hundreds of sailors ride the good ship The Duke Of Nuttyngham day after day. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mueslibar's national animal is the Squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Children of the Corn.

Mueslibar is ranked 10,626th in the world and 591st in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 90.24 on the Human Development Index.
