The Confederacy of United Mandaran States is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.495 billion Mandarans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 22.7%.

The Mandaran economy, worth 112 trillion Mandars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 45,063 Mandars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Mandaran States's national animal is the Besuki Dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

United Mandaran States is ranked 252,170^th in the world and 13,755^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.08 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
