The Constitutional Empire of Manuelian Empire is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.66 billion Manuelians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novaburg. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Manuelian economy, worth 849 trillion Manuelian Reis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,311 Manuelian Reis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manuelian Empire's national animal is the Manuelian Snow Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Manuelian Empire is ranked 280,525^th in the world and 1,329^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
