The Borderstate of Mulavin is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Govener Gregor Nars with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 1.836 billion Mulavinians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balastor. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mulavinian economy, worth 197 trillion Clack mulas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,494 Clack mulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tightness of border controls in Mulavin leave a little to be desired, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mulavin's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mulavin is ranked 283,413^th in the world and 108^th in Aspen for Largest Black Market, with 35.6 billion Standard Monetary Units.
