The Constitutional Empire of Manuelian Empire is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.609 billion Manuelians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaburg. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Manuelian economy, worth 874 trillion Manuelian Reis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 189,777 Manuelian Reis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The opposition leader's credibility has been undermined by constant attention drawn to a dodgy toupee, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, the army spends more time producing 'romantic videos' than actually training soldiers, and school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manuelian Empire's national animal is the Manuelian Snow Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Manuelian Empire is ranked 6,765^th in the world and 104^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
