The Community of Musakstan is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 299 million Musakstaniens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Souris-City. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Musakstanien economy, worth 16.5 trillion Musards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 55,094 Musards, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Leader's portrait, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Musakstan's national animal is the shrew, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Musakstan is ranked 303,370^th in the world and 642^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
