The State of Luis Manny is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 38.6 billion Luis Mannyians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Luis Mannyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,776 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,033 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,973 per year while the poor average 2,473, a ratio of 126 to 1.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the nation's favourite colour is blue (Luis Manny has found 1 easter egg). Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Luis Manny's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Luis Manny is ranked 102,309^th in the world and 200^th in State for Smartest Citizens, with 36.19 quips per hour.
