The Nationalist Republic of Manaban is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Feng Aisin Gioro with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.392 billion Manabese 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 prioritizes Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ★ Haishan. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Manabese economy, worth 476 trillion Man yuan a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,282 Man yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, children are expected to carve their own toys, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Manaban's national animal is the Ussurian tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Manaban is ranked 101,412^th in the world and 62^nd in Greater Middle East for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 120,944 Standard Monetary Units.
