The Constitutional Empire of Manuelian Empire is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.749 billion Manuelians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaburg. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Manuelian economy, worth 869 trillion Manuelian Reis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,037 Manuelian Reis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and "Emperor David I got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manuelian Empire's national animal is the Manuelian Snow Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Manuelian Empire is ranked 1,986^th in the world and 38^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 70.86 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
