The Protectorate of Muggkaahn is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, fear of technology, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 80 million Pyisuur are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Pyisuur economy, worth 2.22 trillion coiled-twigs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 27,786 coiled-twigs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Muggkaahn recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and prudishness is on the way out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muggkaahn's national animal is the water strider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Muggkaahn is ranked 57,996th in the world and 73rd in Karma for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,737.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
