The Republic of Msuthu is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning panther population. The quiet, industrious population of 4.146 billion Msuthuans 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Msuthuan economy, worth 193 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,678 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Msuthu's national animal is the panther.

Msuthu is ranked 166,883^rd in the world and 7,416^th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
