The Free Republic of Mudfish is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Alfredo Rabbitt with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, avant-garde cinema, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.242 billion Mudfishians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mudfishopolis. The average income tax rate is 75.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mudfishian economy, worth a remarkable 2,600 trillion Bitworms a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 160,123 Bitworms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign livestock are offered asylum, the mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet, the industries of Mudfish are coughing all the way to the bank, and gun owners are skilled at everything except shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mudfish's national animal is the Mudfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is One True Church of Random Chance.

Mudfish is ranked 40,388^th in the world and 16^th in Axixican Confederation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
