Politics
Mancunian Caropsgrad is not a democracy by any stretch of the imagination. The country is ruled by the Chairman of the State, Carops, following the principles of Utopianism. Occasionally, polls are conducted as to which course of action the government should take over particular issues, but this is as far as public participation goes. Political parties, as they are contrary to the Utopian Thought Protocol, are forbidden.

The government generally adopts a paternalistic approach to its people, and routinely bans things it considers not to be in their best interests. A sprawling civil service is headed by the Chair of the Civil Directorate, and is concerned with the running of many national affairs. While political awareness is high, support for the Utopian Government is very strong.
