The Republic of Mangolop is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.95 billion Mangolopians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.5%.

The powerhouse Mangolopian economy, worth 381 trillion Mangos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,466 Mangos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 309,773 per year while the poor average 22,770, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

It's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mangolop's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mangolop is ranked 50,529^th in the world and 1^st in Asasasa for Most Developed, scoring 77.48 on the Human Development Index.
