The Department of Meuse is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Muriel Nguyen with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 25.009 billion Meusiens 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bar-le-Duc. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Meusien economy, worth 931 trillion guldens a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 37,245 guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and the police insist that racism does not exist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meuse's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Meuse is ranked 157,693rd in the world and 45th in Department Store for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,335.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
