The Federal Republic of Manuelian Empire is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Manuel Jr with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 824 million Manuelians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novatopia. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Manuelian Empirean economy, worth 75.4 trillion Reis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,452 Reis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, toddler groups have taken over local libraries, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, and the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Manuelian Empire's national animal is the Manuelian Snow Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Manuelian Empire is ranked 11,385^th in the world and 364^th in the Rejected Realms for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 6 valid endorsements.
