The Republic of Mutegravia is a colossal, devout nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 9.24 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, anti-government web sites are springing up, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Mutegravia's national animal is the log, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the hun.

Mutegravia is ranked 1st in New Gaia and 54,647th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 21 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
