The District of Mutaria is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 35.923 billion Mutarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 12.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mutarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,111 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 58,772 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Gambling is outlawed, a major religion has been named as Mutaria's national religion, Mutaria is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and Mutaria has designated District City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Mutaria's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mutaria is ranked 129,435^th in the world and 277^th in State for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 876.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
