The Republic of Mangaluru is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 348 million Mangalurians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barkur. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mangaluruan economy, worth 20.8 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,895 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Constipated-looking politicians are uptight about potty mouths, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Mangalurians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mangaluru's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mangaluru is ranked 120,762^nd in the world and 4,647^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,685.37 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
