The Red Skull of McManniaa is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 23.218 billion McManniaans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax Hydra. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving McManniaan economy, worth a remarkable 1,358 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,519 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Mandatory daycare is provided by the government, political activists are routinely executed, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in McManniaa to be bombproof, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime is totally unknown. McManniaa's national animal is the Hydra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hydra.

McManniaa is ranked 236,210^th in the world and 4^th in HYDRA Command for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.83 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
