The Kingdom of Mutul is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Jasaw Chan K'awiil V with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.535 billion Mutulese are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalak'Muul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The very strong Mutulian economy, worth a remarkable 1,121 trillion B'uls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 82,841 B'uls, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,691 per year while the poor average 14,974, a ratio of 21.1 to 1.

Statue-sitting has replaced the stake-out as the dullest form of police duty, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mutul's national animal is the Snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is White Path.

Mutul is ranked 190,446^th in the world and 7,814^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 391.41 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
