The Queen's State of Manchin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 32.828 billion Manchinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Manchinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,540 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,936 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Manchin has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Manchin in an international press conference, none has been named as Manchin's national religion, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Manchin's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is none.

Manchin is ranked 143,468th in the world and 4th in Somalia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 646.05 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
