The Higher Empire of Workers Mancunia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Sans The Benevolent with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 7.494 billion Mancunians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Sansberg. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mancunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,295 trillion Dong a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,875 Dong, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

News editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Emperor Sans The Benevolent tend to disappear, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, state-sanctioned torture is okay so long as there's no icky blood, and the military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Workers Mancunia's national animal is the Cade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sansism.

Workers Mancunia is ranked 17,850^th in the world and 14^th in Karma for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,575.68 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
