The Imperorepublic of Manacore is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Arbiter Dreadnought with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.912 billion Manacans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nurano. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Manacan economy, worth 154 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,604 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, and comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manacore's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Manacore is ranked 213,904^th in the world and 9,601^st in Balder for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -5 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
