The State of Musquerat is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.959 billion Musqueratians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Musqueratian economy, worth a remarkable 1,562 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 39,090 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,944 per year while the poor average 2,450, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots, and Musquerat has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Musquerat's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Musquerat is ranked 286,234^th in the world and 1^st in St Lucia for Nicest Citizens, with 2.43 average smiles per day.
