The Queen's State of Murray Beach is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.196 billion Murray Beachians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 10.4%.

The strong Murray Beachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,493 trillion betales a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 38,100 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, religious classes are compulsory for all school students, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Murray Beach's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Murray Beach is ranked 124,223^rd in the world and 590^th in State for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
