The Republic of Manticore utopia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.897 billion Manticore utopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Manticore utopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion manticore meticals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 257,627 manticore meticals, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime is totally unknown. Manticore utopia's national animal is the multiheaded manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Manticore utopia is ranked 48,997^th in the world and 2,853^rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 52.49 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
