The Federation of Mandist Rock is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 15.622 billion Mandist Rockians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mandist Rockian economy, worth a remarkable 2,486 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 159,184 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, auditors are gutting every governmental department, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Mandist Rock's national animal is the gem lizard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mandist Rock is ranked 206,739^th in the world and 3^rd in Walbard for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
