The People's Republic of Manrien is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 633 million Manrienis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Manrienian economy, worth 55.9 trillion Reps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,359 Reps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manrien's national animal is the Elefant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Manrien is ranked 99,031^st in the world and 3,973^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 42.63 Effective Tax Rate.
