The Empire of Muhlia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 445 million Muhlians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Restelin. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Muhlian economy, worth 29.0 trillion Muhlian selens a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,200 Muhlian selens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muhlia's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Muhlia is ranked 62,705^th in the world and 152^nd in The Union of Democratic States for Smartest Citizens, with 38.35 quips per hour.
