The Kingdom of Mabanmanga is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sabelo Ntlokwana with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.076 billion Mabanmangans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mbesumbwe. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Mabanmangan economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,147 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, shirts-versus-skins games are now skins-versus-skins games, and Sabelo Ntlokwana sports gold-plated grillz to promote the government's hard money policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Mabanmanga's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Animism.
Mabanmanga is ranked 18,289th in the world and 17th in Africa for Most Authoritarian, with 3,239.92 milliStalins.
