The Oppressed Peoples of A Manager is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12 million Managers 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, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 24.6%.

The Managerial economy, worth 489 billion documents a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 40,827 documents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and thieves are flogged in public for their crimes. Crime is moderate. A Manager's national animal is the employee, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

A Manager is ranked 144,021^st in the world and 1^st in Atlantic Alliance for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,042.71 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
