The Provisional Government of Mabanarlan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mabanese Reconstruction Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.362 billion Mabanese 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tuimater. The average income tax rate is 55.1%.

The all-consuming Mabanese economy, worth 349 trillion Deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,965 Deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, Max Barry is this year's Miss Mabanarlan, and guns don't kill people — heroes do. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mabanarlan's national animal is the Cerberus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mabanarlan is ranked 67,334^th in the world and 1^st in The Global Guild for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
