The Zarenreich of Mannerhelm is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Arto Mannen-Darmstadt with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, humorless population of 2.398 billion Manns are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ihmisten. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mannerhelmian economy, worth 262 trillion Mannen Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,489 Mannen Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mannerhelm's national animal is the Reich Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kansakunnan Yhtenäisyysuskonto.

Mannerhelm is ranked 49,813^th in the world and 644^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 687.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
