The Republic of Mul is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Naomi Watts with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.027 billion Mulians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mulholland. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mulian economy, worth 526 trillion Mulas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 174,064 Mulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mul's national animal is the Mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mul is ranked 253,704^th in the world and 915^th in Talonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
