The Republic of Manjuland is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.645 billion manjulianis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Manjulandian economy, worth 870 trillion Pratas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,129 Pratas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Graffiti graces every city's streets, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Manjuland's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Manjuland is ranked 135,932nd in the world and 1st in La Plata for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 773.36 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
