The Blessed Kingdom of Maniaca is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by King Oliver I of House McKraut with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 50.88 billion Maniacans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Martin. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Maniacan economy, worth an astonishing 12,958 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 254,680 bitcoins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,378,489 per year while the poor average 24,327, a ratio of 56.7 to 1.

Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, city mayors have to get permission from parliament to take a vacation day, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and ants are charged with crimes against humanity. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maniaca's national animal is the armored velociraptor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christian Orthodoxy.

Maniaca is ranked 40,449th in the world and 2nd in Byzantine Christendom for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,912.56 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
