The Blessed Kingdom of Maniaca is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Oliver I of House McKraut with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, prohibition of alcohol, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 46.061 billion Maniacans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Maniacan economy, worth an astonishing 10,979 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 238,362 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,094,720 per year while the poor average 31,491, a ratio of 34.8 to 1.

King Oliver I of House McKraut's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Maniaca's national animal is the armored velociraptor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christian Orthodoxy.

Maniaca is ranked 294,250^th in the world and 281^st in Karma for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
