The Confederation of Manuid is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vinny Butsi with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.397 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitas. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Manuidian economy, worth 215 trillion Manuis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 154,351 Manuis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government has enacted freedom of information, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, and lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers. 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 119,711^th in the world and 156^th in Aesica for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,723.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
