The Constitutional Monarchy of Mantwenic is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Gabriella I with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate population of 10.469 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 juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benshawk. The average income tax rate is 39%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Mantwenic's schoolchildren are manufactured into a segregated bunch of soldiers, religious zealots, and computer technicians, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and people caught mistreating Mantwenic's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mantwenic's national animal is the bobcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christianity , and its currency is the Pondus .

Mantwenic is ranked 200th in Atlantian Oceania and 102,700th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
