The Confederation of Manuid is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vinny Butsi with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.032 billion Manui are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Manuidian economy, worth 144 trillion Manuis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 139,654 Manuis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 461,756 per year while the poor average 31,574, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Vinny Butsi's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, there's a politician called Male Infant Snape, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, and the construction of massive skyscrapers seems to be the result of Manuid's mid-life crisis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manuid's national animal is the Queen Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Manuid is ranked 240,870^th in the world and 183^rd in Aesica for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
