The Republic of Manam is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning turtle population. The democratic population of 2.079 billion Manamians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 20.9%.

The Manamian economy, worth 93.0 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,739 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime is totally unknown. Manam's national animal is the turtle.

Manam is ranked 101,777^th in the world and 5^th in The Intersection for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,529.41 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
