The Sarcastic Wit of Muppet Floyd Pepper is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sgt Pepper with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, fear of technology, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.345 billion bassists 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient a bassist economy, worth 292 trillion sugars 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 black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. 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 35,076 sugars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, billions of sugars are spent to take high-quality photos of the Animal Nebula, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Floyd Pepper's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is hip.

Muppet Floyd Pepper is ranked 55,402nd in the world and 13th in The Muppet Show for Most Patriotic, with 25.25 flags saluted per person per day.
