The Kingdom of Mankitownland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by King Ælex XI with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 12.958 billion Mandashians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dávquilia. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mandashian economy, worth a remarkable 2,984 trillion Tickeques a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 230,314 Tickeques, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Mandashian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, the paparazzi publicize Royal scandals with the utmost delight, and Mankitownland Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mankitownland's national animal is the Mandashián Gorilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fráncigaism.

Mankitownland is ranked 4,374^th in the world and 117^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 12,521.6 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
