The United Socialist States of Manchuovareich is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 56 million Manchuovics 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Manchuovareichian economy, worth 2.50 trillion Manchuoko Reichsmarkas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 44,579 Manchuoko Reichsmarkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", the property market is in a bit of a state, and public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manchuovareich's national animal is the Manchurian Black Bear.

Manchuovareich is ranked 203,960^th in the world and 4,783^rd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 37.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
