The Colony of Maneuvre is a small, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29 million my loyal peasants are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.

The powerhouse Maneuvrean economy, worth 2.08 trillion krinas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 71,892 krinas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,439 per year while the poor average 17,015, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone, amusement park rides frequently collapse due to lack of maintenance, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime is a problem. Maneuvre's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maneuvre is ranked 268,175^th in the world and 30^th in The Moon for Nicest Citizens, with 1.34 average smiles per day.
