The Armed Republic of Murftopia is a very large, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 215 million Murftopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.6%.

The Murftopian economy, worth 9.11 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,373 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Murftopia's national animal is the squirrel.

Murftopia is ranked 15,383^rd in the world and 18^th in Starlight for Most Conservative, scoring 85.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
