The Queen's State of Murdochtown is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.347 billion Murdochtownians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The strong Murdochtownian economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 59,548 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 404,859 per year while the poor average 3,199, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Murdochtown has designated Capital Heights as its capital city and it is a crime to operate a combine harvester while intoxicated. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Murdochtown's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Murdochtown is ranked 194,866^th in the world and 5^th in Calgary for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
