The Kingdom of Manibus is a huge, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning Eagle population. The hard-working, cynical population of 507 million Manish are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Manish economy, worth 31.3 trillion Faros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 61,697 Faros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manibus's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Manibus is ranked 164,758th in the world and 207th in Arborhaven for Most Patriotic, with 11.56 flags saluted per person per day.
