The Whispering Trees of Murmuria is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.601 billion Murmurians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Murmurian economy, worth a remarkable 1,302 trillion Acorns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing. 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 43,991 Acorns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Murmuria's national animal is the Fairy, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Call of the Wild.

Murmuria is ranked 341,854th in the world and 300th in Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 0.75 quips per hour.
