The United Martial Coalition of Menschenfleisch is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.076 billion D-boys are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 80.9%.

The frighteningly efficient D-boyian economy, worth a remarkable 2,802 trillion pixie dusts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 146,921 pixie dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Suicide victims often leave behind cash to cover the cost of their fines, there are no longer any roads less traveled, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, and glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menschenfleisch's national animal is the small and particularly deadly arachnid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Menschenfleisch is ranked 27,971st in the world and 1,068th in Balder for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,052.54 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
