The United States of Saint Murray is a large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 113 million Saint Murrayians 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 tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The thriving Saint Murrayian economy, worth 7.07 trillion Viletas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 62,540 Viletas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 221,374 per year while the poor average 12,757, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saint Murray's national animal is the Crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Saint Murray is ranked 1,826^th in the world and 3^rd in Saint Osmund for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8,377.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
