The House of Manderly is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lord Wyman Manderly with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 2.978 billion Manderlys 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 Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of White Harbor. The average income tax rate is 16.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Manderly economy, worth 148 trillion silver marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,883 silver marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Manderly has designated White Harbor as its capital city, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Faith of the Seven has been named as Manderly's national religion, and Lord Wyman Manderly has just been declared ruler of Manderly in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Manderly's national animal is the whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Manderly is ranked 243,299^th in the world and 2^nd in Seven Kingdoms of Westeros for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 194.16 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
