The District of Manitoulin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, national health service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 46.286 billion Manitoulinis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Manitoulinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,430 trillion aurums a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,506 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", Liard can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Manitoulin flights to avoid the pay lavatories, and Liard is convinced that other nations can simply be "junked" (Manitoulin has found 3 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Manitoulin's national animal is the bovina, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Manitoulin is ranked 265,371st in the world and 627th in Ancient Lands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 11,183.88 Standard Monetary Units.
