The Second Republic of Murskat is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Charles Felidaeus with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 2.158 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 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Servalese economy, worth 244 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 113,524 egysegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, M-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, students do more community service than homework, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. 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 46,928^th in the world and 53^rd in Lands End for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,135.26 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
