The Chiselled Features of Muppet Bust of Beethoven is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by a passion for music with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.572 billion busts are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The a bust economy, worth 357 trillion scores a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 47,275 scores, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The leaders of Muppet Bust of Beethoven are given the nod by their predecessors, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, foreign leaders who don't applaud a passion for music's speeches are regarded as enemies of Muppet Bust of Beethoven, and atheists on vacation find classical's scriptures make useful doorstops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Bust of Beethoven's national animal is the note, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is classical.

Muppet Bust of Beethoven is ranked 148,121st in the world and 10th in The Muppet Show for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
