The Constitutional Empire of Manuelian Empire is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 4.697 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 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Manuelian economy, worth 857 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 182,631 Manuelian Reis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

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.
