The Nomadic Peoples of Arutiise DarManda is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Hathaway Noah with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.312 billion Mando'ade are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dakar. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Mando'ade economy, worth 231 trillion Mega Pak Ωs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 53,621 Mega Pak Ωs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's, laughter while watching foreign diplomats disrobe tends to make diplomatic talks counterproductive, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arutiise DarManda's national animal is the Mythosaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Char's Zeonism.

Arutiise DarManda is ranked 181,732^nd in the world and 4^th in The Imperial Legion for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 51.47 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
