The Empire of Manchou is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning dragon population. The hard-working population of 2.462 billion Manchouans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.2%.

The Manchouan economy, worth 122 trillion Manchou yuan a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,636 Manchou yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manchou's national animal is the dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Manchou is ranked 116,607^th in the world and 2^nd in MHBs New Frontier for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.83 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
