The Intermittent Republic of Murab is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Optimist Gorice XIII with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.862 billion Murabians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Misery. The average income tax rate is 33.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Murabian economy, worth a remarkable 4,329 trillion New Groats a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 312,338 New Groats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
The prevalence of circular logic frequently renders parliamentary observers dizzy, takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and centuries-old legal documents detailing agnatic-cognatic gavelkind succession are being dusted off again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Murab's national animal is the Ravening Sloth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reformed Empirical Syncretism.
Murab is ranked 169,405th in the world and 168th in The Western Isles for Most Income Equality, scoring 24.9 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
