The Liberal Democratic Republic of Mancunia Revolution is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 689 million 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mancunia. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Tourism and Soda Sales.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mancunia Revolution's national animal is the Tiger, and its currency is the Manc.

Mancunia Revolution is ranked 3,963rd in The North Pacific and 85,630th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -19 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
