The Dominion of Manthera is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, democratic population of 475 million Mantherans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The all-consuming Mantheran economy, worth 41.1 trillion dells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 86,429 dells, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

It's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Manthera's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Manthera is ranked 106,253^rd in the world and 5,572^nd in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
