The Kingdom of Mankitownland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Ælex XI with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 12.852 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 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mandashian economy, worth a remarkable 2,950 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 229,553 Tickeques, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 22,795^th in the world and 831^st in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
