The Morally Confused Nation of Mmmphm is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.119 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Public Transport, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, meat-eating is frowned upon, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime — especially youth-related — is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Mmmphm's national animal is the wassat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the howmuch.
