The Harmonious Tones of Muppet Doglion is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by a star talent with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, enforced nudity, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.075 billion monsters are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 24.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The a monster economy, worth 776 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. 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 59,403 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, when shaking hands with foreign leaders a star talent wears an armoured gauntlet, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, and endangered species are effective hostages against the a monster military. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Muppet Doglion's national animal is the doglion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is melodic.

Muppet Doglion is ranked 131,381^st in the world and 34^th in The Muppet Show for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 527.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
