The Republic of J Andrew Murray is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 783 million J Andrew Murrayians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The thriving J Andrew Murrayian economy, worth 54.9 trillion employeeses a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 70,130 employeeses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 248,241 per year while the poor average 14,305, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. J Andrew Murray's national animal is the ferret, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

J Andrew Murray is ranked 263,434^th in the world and 2,666^th in the Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -3.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
