The United States of New Mudmania is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 169 million New Mudmanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped New Mudmanian economy, worth 7.44 trillion Mud Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,027 Mud Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around New Mudmania City, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Mudmania's national animal is the Spiny Lobster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Mudmania is ranked 28,139^th in the world and 1^st in The Dragonian Cascanians for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.08 percentage of bribes refused.
