The Galactic Muppets of Darth Kermit is a gargantuan, devout nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed population of 14.379 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. Income tax is unheard of. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The muppet is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and euthanasia is legal. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Darth Kermit's national animal is the muppet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the puppet dollar.

Darth Kermit is ranked 147th in Texas and 125,444th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring -4 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
