The Suspects of Mugshots is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Warden with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.397 billion Mugshotsians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jail. The average income tax rate is 68.7%.

The powerhouse Mugshotsian economy, worth 555 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,884 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

State-run museums boast about their anti-Mugshotsian art collections, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mugshots's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom.

Mugshots is ranked 20,837^th in the world and 3^rd in Community for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,270.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
