The Saddusaic Kingdom of Menassa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Matthias Jannaeus with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.643 billion Menassans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yerushaliam. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Menassan economy, worth a remarkable 2,838 trillion Kesefs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 110,698 Kesefs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Autumn landscape paintings feature men stripping leaves from bare branches with a vacuum, slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, and children often kick Tachashes for amusement. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menassa's national animal is the Tachash, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saddusaic Judaism.

Menassa is ranked 299,542^nd in the world and 11,809^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.51 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
