The Like pizzia time pizzia we of Man-man is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.613 billion Man-manians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.8%.
The all-consuming Man-manian economy, worth 645 trillion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,587 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Frightened witnesses and seriously ill jurors wear the same handcuffs as the defendant, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Man-man's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Man-man is ranked 35,388th in the world and 75th in Artificial Solar System for Most Corrupt Governments, with 61.47 kickbacks per hour.
