The United Maritime Republics of Maanenland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Consul Léo Duchamps with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.645 billion Maanlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Franc. The average income tax rate is 13.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Maanenic economy, worth a remarkable 5,950 trillion Jetons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 274,893 Jetons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Maanenland are blocked up with orders for new public loos, daisy chain gangs plant flowers and pick up litter, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown. Maanenland's national animal is the Fou de Bassan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Maanenland is ranked 156,359^th in the world and 415^th in Europe for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.97 crimes per hour.
