The Civitas of The Menapii is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marcus Aurelius Mausaeus Carausius with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.045 billion Menapiians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castellum Menapiorum. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Menapiian economy, worth a remarkable 7,061 trillion teuros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 271,144 teuros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Tourists call Menapiian beach towns "the fine coastline", internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Menapii's national animal is the presidential candidate, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Menapii is ranked 188,833rd in the world and 90th in Nederland for Highest Drug Use, scoring 38.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
