“VIXI LIBER ET MORIAR”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free Land of Muzika is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.881 billion Muzikans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annapolis. The average income tax rate is 59.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Muzikan economy, worth a remarkable 1,092 trillion Zikas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 122,959 Zikas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, wandering Muzikans are known for their one-track minds, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, and unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves. Crime is almost non-existent. Muzika's national animal is the Meerkat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ravens.

Muzika is ranked 12,238^th in the world and 1^st in The Vaulkreath Nations for Most Cultured, scoring 105 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
