Murici is a

Brazilian state of Alagoas. Its population is 28,333 (2020) and its area is 424 km².[2] According to the Veja magazine,[3] despite receiving generous public transfers, the city still lags behind most municipalities in Brazil in human development. 30.6% of its inhabitants are illiterate and 65% rely on Federal funds to survive, which contribute for an HDI of just 0.58, slightly below Iraq's HDI of 0.59.[4]

The municipality contains 61% of the 6,116 hectares (15,110 acres) Murici Ecological Station, created in 2001.[5]
