The Cantankerous Opinions of Muppet Statler and Waldorf is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by snark with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.348 billion hecklers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong heckling economy, worth 633 trillion heckles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,941 heckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", birth rates have hit an all-time low, and citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Statler and Waldorf's national animal is the bear and its national religion is scathing.

Muppet Statler and Waldorf is ranked 30,281st in the world and 20th in The Muppet Show for Most Stationary, with 1,340.13759370028 days.
