The Burnt-out Saxophonist of Muppet Zoot is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by mellow tones with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 13.369 billion saxophonists are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 42.7%.

The a saxophonist economy, worth 780 trillion dimes 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, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, 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 58,418 dimes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, A Saxophonist politicians are often described as having more style than substance, teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, and anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Muppet Zoot's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is melodic.

Muppet Zoot is ranked 65,413th in the world and 7th in The Muppet Show for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,552.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
