The Constitutional Monarchy of Mandria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by L M Bøkersby with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.639 billion Mandrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fari Swarth. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mandrian economy, worth 694 trillion panders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 190,728 panders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, protecting the land is holey work, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mandria's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mandria is ranked 12,696^th in the world and 31^st in the Outback for Highest Average Incomes, with 190,728.39 Standard Monetary Units.
