The Kingdom of Mbangawi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arikirinzuka with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, prohibition of alcohol, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.894 billion Mbangawians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uzuri. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mbangawian economy, worth a remarkable 1,785 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 138,484 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 461,690 per year while the poor average 30,927, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, the entire entry for Mbangawi in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mbangawi's national animal is the Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Animism.

Mbangawi is ranked 115,682nd in the world and 75th in Africa for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,694.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
