The Federal Republic of Republic of Muir is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 203 million Muiris have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 15.6%.

The Muirian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Muir Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,842 Muir Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Republic of Muir's national animal is the Cat.

Republic of Muir is ranked 217,973^rd in the world and 4,225^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
