The Theocracy of Mandos is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.036 billion Mandosians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mandosian economy, worth 585 trillion Justices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 64,802 Justices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, and the government's suggestions box is curiously empty these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mandos's national animal is the Eagle.

Mandos is ranked 59,881^st in the world and 3^rd in Valandor for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,610.32 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
