The Republic of Manon Proulx is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 1.165 billion Manon Proulxians 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 medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Manon Proulxian economy, worth 60.5 trillion Galleons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,946 Galleons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Manon Proulx is often a lifetime appointment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Manon Proulx's national animal is the goose.

Manon Proulx is ranked 295,659^th in the world and 1^st in Beauxbatons for Nudest, with 22.5 cheeks per square mile.
