The State of Mangone is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 13.694 billion Mangoneans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The very strong Mangonean economy, worth 743 trillion betales a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 54,299 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,873 per year while the poor average 13,777, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Military funding has been stripped back, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and Mangone has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mangone's national animal is the deer.

Mangone is ranked 118,006^th in the world and 438^th in 0000 for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
