The Senatorial Triumvirate of Gitchie Manito is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by The Council of Three Fires with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.469 billion Manitans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Michilimackinac. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Manitan economy, worth a remarkable 2,350 trillion Bawazigaywins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 162,481 Bawazigaywins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, third world countries are rich in "I Love Michilimackinac" t-shirts, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown. Gitchie Manito's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is unofficial.

Gitchie Manito is ranked 242,993^rd in the world and 58^th in Gay for Largest Black Market, with 217 billion Standard Monetary Units.
