The Republic of Outrageous Muffin 16 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.628 billion Outrageous Muffin 16ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Outrageous Muffin 16ian economy, worth 679 trillion Blueberries 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 an impressive 187,340 Blueberries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

'Cake Popnado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, every week is blindness awareness week, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outrageous Muffin 16's national animal is the Cake Pop, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Outrageous Muffin 16 is ranked 21,268^th in the world and 226^th in Nerdlandia for Largest Black Market, with 164 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
