The Spiritual People's Republic of Mutan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Maaklu I with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.259 billion Mutanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sedona. The average income tax rate is 65.6%.

The thriving Mutanian economy, worth 462 trillion Pecunias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,375 Pecunias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Mutanian as 'your finger, you fool'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mutan's national animal is the Bunny, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Animal Totemism.

Mutan is ranked 243,099^th in the world and 1,187^th in the Outback for Rudest Citizens, with 28.99 insults per minute.
