The Dominion of Muning is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 12 million Muningians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair Muningian economy, worth 388 billion Munions a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,390 Munions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, doctors are encouraged to 'pull the plug' any time the government has a budget crisis, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muning's national animal is the Felis catus.

Muning is ranked 259,144^th in the world and 3,366^th in The East Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 9.24 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
