The Islamic Emirate of Manulqa is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Al Emir Abdullah II with an even hand, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.908 billion Manulqans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eydhafushi. The average income tax rate is 45.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Manulqan economy, worth 546 trillion Manulqa Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,789 Manulqa Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Recent events have left citizens both shaken and stirred, black gold is looking more brown these days, atheists on vacation find Sunni Islam's scriptures make useful doorstops, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Manulqa's national animal is the Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni Islam.

Manulqa is ranked 25,097^th in the world and 46^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 275.71 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
