The Republic of Manticore utopia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.581 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 tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Manticore utopian economy, worth a remarkable 4,320 trillion manticore meticals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 373,028 manticore meticals, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', and suburban families are finding themselves increasingly short on food as they waste precious water on their lawns. Crime is totally unknown. Manticore utopia's national animal is the Vampire, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Manticore utopia is ranked 40,710^th in the world and 1,211^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 4.08 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
