The Blessed Kingdom of Maniaca is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Oliver I of House McKraut with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 47.436 billion Maniacans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Maniacan economy, worth an astonishing 11,385 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 240,021 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,204,308 per year while the poor average 26,801, a ratio of 44.9 to 1.

Actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, private digital records now come with a convenient "download" button, news headlines suggest that King Oliver I of House McKraut has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, and animated characters are allowed to stab each other but not hold hands. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maniaca's national animal is the armored velociraptor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christian Orthodoxy.

Maniaca is ranked 313,594^th in the world and 199^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -11.22 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
