The Republic of Mugarit is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 3.633 billion Mugarites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Mugaritic economy, worth 64.5 trillion mug moments a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 17,749 mug moments, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mugarit's national animal is the mug pug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mugarit is ranked 191,670^th in the world and 6^th in Regionistan for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 354.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
