The Long-Suffering Host of Muppet Kermit the Frog is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Jim Henson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, fear of technology, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 13.566 billion amphibians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 45.1%.

The strong amphibian economy, worth 882 trillion applauses a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,045 applauses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

International tensions are high as Muppet Kermit the Frog threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, the government considers it a sacred duty to video bikini-clad beach swimmers, and the tightness of border controls in Muppet Kermit the Frog leave a little to be desired. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Kermit the Frog's national animal is the frog and its national religion is being green.

Muppet Kermit the Frog is ranked 304,245^th in the world and 49^th in The Muppet Show for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
