The Armed Republic of Manzanillo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.398 billion Manzanilloans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.8%.

The Manzanilloan economy, worth 267 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,769 Delta Eagles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,358 per year while the poor average 17,119, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, and the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Manzanillo's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Manzanillo is ranked 235,139^th in the world and 6^th in Hyogo for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 41.43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
