The Republic of Mandator I is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 4.097 billion Mandator Iians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Mandator Iian economy, worth 66.4 trillion rubledollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 16,219 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mandator I's national animal is the hawk.

Mandator I is ranked 252,011^th in the world and 1^st in Raidercon for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
