The Confederation of Manuid is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Vinny Butsi with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.298 billion Manui are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Manuidian economy, worth 196 trillion Manuis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 151,272 Manuis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manuid's national animal is the Queen Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Manuid is ranked 153,816^th in the world and 119^th in Aesica for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 427.11 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
