The Armed Republic of Manaric is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Natasha Queens with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory military service. The democratic, cheerful, devout population of 10.98 billion Magnains are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Balton City. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Magnaician economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion Denechmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,683 Denechmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, Magnains are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manaric's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Magnaicia.

Manaric is ranked 11,866^th in the world and 671^st in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 111 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
