The Oppressed Peoples of Mustachios slice is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 3.396 billion Mustachios sliceans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Wedge. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Mustachios slicean economy, worth 80.1 trillion potatoeses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 23,577 potatoeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Mustachios slice but at least the trains run on time, oracles predict landslide victories for Leader for the next 50 years, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mustachios slice's national animal is the frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mustachios slice is ranked 72,736th in the world and 3,272nd in Balder for Safest, scoring 93.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
