The Protectorate of Mucous is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 18.905 billion Mucousians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The Mucousian economy, worth 832 trillion Snots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 44,035 Snots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Mucous's national animal is the Hawk.

Mucous is ranked 42,938^th in the world and 1,025^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,101.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
