The Virgin Queendom of Manou is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Manou with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.868 billion Manouans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manouia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The very strong Manouan economy, worth 587 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,558 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,486 per year while the poor average 16,297, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

People think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", The Worship of Manou has been named as Manou's national religion, Lady Manou has just been declared ruler of Manou in an international press conference, and Manou has designated Manouia as its capital city. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Manou's national animal is the sheep and its national religion is The Worship of Manou.

Manou is ranked 246,532^nd in the world and 7^th in Lerodas for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
