The Second Republic of Murskat is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Charles Felidaeus with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, aversion to nipples, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.057 billion Murskats are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cattus City. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Servalese economy, worth 237 trillion egysegs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,487 egysegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Murskat's national animal is the serval, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Servalese Protestantism.

Murskat is ranked 39,959^th in the world and 51^st in Lands End for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
