The Republic of Manticore utopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 9.232 billion Manticore utopians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Administration 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 42.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Manticore utopian economy, worth a remarkable 3,058 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 331,281 manticore meticals, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

A firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and bleach is the nation's most common pesticide. 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 68,884^th in the world and 4,005^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,272.51 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
