Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Community of Al Manama is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.188 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10%. A large private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Al Manama's national animal is the camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dinar.

Al Manama is ranked 162nd in Galapagos and 32,458th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
