The Moderator Mouse Mommy of Mousebumples is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by sisters Lizzy and Sasha Hall with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 46.636 billion Mousebumplesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Public Transport, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moustantinople. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mousebumplesian economy, worth a remarkable 9,376 trillion flying monkeys a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,063 flying monkeys, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, police officers spend more time on calisthenics than actually catching criminals, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, and red text rains down on the head of anyone who dares to step out of line (Mousebumples has found 7 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mousebumples's national animal is the flying treemouse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mousebumples is ranked 1,399^th in the world and 17^th in Europeia for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 6,896.02 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
