The Constitutional Monarchy of Mandria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by L M Bøkersby with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.615 billion Mandrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fari Swarth. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mandrian economy, worth 687 trillion panders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 190,049 panders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mandria's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mandria is ranked 3,949^th in the world and 13^th in the Outback for Most Cultured, scoring 181 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
