The Republic of Manticore utopia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.983 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, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, 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 20.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Manticore utopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,974 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 282,724 manticore meticals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 921,150 per year while the poor average 65,328, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

Ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass. Crime is totally unknown. Manticore utopia's national animal is the multiheaded manticore, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Manticore utopia is ranked 1,648^th in the world and 55^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 921,150.7 Standard Monetary Units.
