The Community of La Manchaland is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 596 million La Manchalandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped La Manchalandian economy, worth 24.6 trillion tickets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,325 tickets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across La Manchaland are blocked up with orders for new public loos, a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Manchaland's national animal is the Cat- specifically my cat Winter, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

La Manchaland is ranked 247,870^th in the world and 287^th in Panam for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
