Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Constitutional Monarchy of Mandalrovia is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.626 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.

The large government devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Public Transport and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling.

Every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, skateboarding is the only legal way to travel, and government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Mandalrovia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the fliget.

Mandalrovia is ranked 1st in 00000000000 and 14,125th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -8 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
