“Mandyistan is the Great Mother of the World”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Mandyistan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Eleanore Borges with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.411 billion Mandyistanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bethany Rivers. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.8%.

The powerhouse Mandyistanian economy, worth 229 trillion Mandyistan Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 67,415 Mandyistan Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,190 per year while the poor average 10,301, a ratio of 27.7 to 1.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, drug-related crimes carry the death penalty, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mandyistan's national animal is the Mandyistan Sandcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mandyistan is ranked 139,549^th in the world and 83^rd in The Pangaean Union for Safest, scoring 64.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
