The Kingdom of Mansilla (colloquially, Mansilla) is a small island nation situated in the northernmost part of the Olympic Ocean. Though nominally a constitutional monarchy, Mansilla is effectively administered by its Prime Minister, currently Gran Custodé Giancarlo Ricci, who has been in office since 1996 and holds near absolute power in the nation. The Mansillian economy is relatively small but nearly self sustaining and moderately diverse, being comprised of a large agriculture sector, a smaller manufacturing sector, and a thriving tourist industry thanks to sweeping foreign policy reforms in the mid-1980s. Mansilla is known for its beautiful rolling hills, vineyards, crystal blue waters, and elegant architecture.

The current government of Mansilla was established following the 1937 coup d'etat against the Ferrera dynasty, which saw Luca Brunelli's rise to power, the execution of Stephano X, and the establishment of the 2nd Kingdom after a formal constitution was drafted in August of the same year.

Etymology

Though the origin of the term "Mansilla" is not exactly known, it's likely a heavily vernacularized translation of the the Pionean word "Maesila," which meaning "God's Dominion" or, more literally, "God's Seat." The Mansillan archipelago was first settled by Pionean Catholic Missionaries in the late 13th century, which may explain the name. The general demonym for citizens of Mansilla is "Mansillan(s)," though "Mansillians," is also used with a great degree of frequency.

Demographics

Given Mansilla's isolated geographic location and strict immigration/emigration bans until the mid 1980s, nearly 98% of all denizens self-classified as Pionea, the native Latin-Caucasian ethnicity, in the nation's 2003 census. 81% of the Mansillan population is concentrated in its two largest cities, Brunelli and Sanclaro, the former of which has seen substantial growth since the mid 2000s.

Economy

Mansilla is a nominally capitalist nation, making no efforts to prevent citizens from freely engaging in trade, buying, holding, and selling assets (including properties), and establishing limited enterprises. International commerce and large scale industry, however, is highly regulated. All large-scale holdings are jointly held between the owner and the state, creating a system where most international trade is conducted by pseudo-nationalized corporations. Such trade, however, is rare, given the Mansillan government's relatively isolationist stance on foreign policy.
