The Kingdom of Mabanmanga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sabelo Ntlokwana with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.82 billion Mabanmangans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mbesumbwe. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mabanmangan economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,466 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government's policy is 'all pain, no grain', the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, and politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Mabanmanga's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Animism.

Mabanmanga is ranked 276,677^th in the world and 167^th in Africa for Most Beautiful Environments, with 7.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
