The Colony of Murlinda is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kamilia Soveriegn with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.253 billion Murlindans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olivia. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Murlindan economy, worth 108 trillion Rubixons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 86,811 Rubixons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, a light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Murlinda's national animal is the German Sheperd, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Murlinda is ranked 121,090^th in the world and 3^rd in Desintegratia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 40.11 Effective Tax Rate.
