The Republic of Manticore utopia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.082 billion Manticore utopians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy 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 12.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Manticore utopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,696 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 278,881 manticore meticals, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, hackers post hourly updates on international summits, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, and opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony. 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 15,438^th in the world and 735^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 78.19 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
