The Republic of Musgoria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.684 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miscalia. The average income tax rate is 26%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Miscalia Times is sold out, and a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Musgoria's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Krator.

Musgoria is ranked 2nd in Atrigeas and 4,084th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 68 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
