The Royal Blue Kingdom of Manahakatouki is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Nanino Vigiaro the 2nd with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.841 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vigiaro's City. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, nude art is becoming wildly popular, tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Vigiaro's City Times is sold out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manahakatouki's national animal is the Grey Fox Hound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Popper.

Manahakatouki is ranked 2nd in Ozzy and 5,993rd in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 93 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
