With a population of 24.2 million, NAN% of whom are foreign nationals including permanent residents, it is one of the most populous urban areas in Catai and among the most populous cities in the world.

'''Mandai''', officially the '''Free State of Mandai''', and informally referred to as the '''Pearl of the Orient''' and '''Lotrič of the East''', is a sovereign city-state and country in Catai. It is located on the southern estuary of the RIVER, and the NAN River flows through it. Experiencing a humid subtropical climate throughout the year, Mandai borders Wáhngjau to the east. With a population of 24.2 million, 39% of whom are foreign nationals including permanent residents, it is one of the most populous cities in the world. Mandai is a global center for finance, innovation, and transportation, characterised by low taxation, free trade and deregulation, and the Port of Mandai is one of the world's busiest container ports.   


Originally a fishing village and market town of Wáhngjau spanning more than a milennia, Mandai grew in importance in the 19th century due to trade and its favorable port location. Mandai became a joint colony of the Midrasian and Newreyan empires after the Wáhngjau Empire ceded the city at the end of the Opium War in 1842. The city then flourished, growing into a successful entrepôt and becoming a primary commercial and financial hub that attracted settlers and sojourners from the Catai-Majulah region and beyond. During the Second Second Great War, the city was the site of the major Battle of Mandai. Following a protracted period of agitation against Midrasian-Newreyan colonial rule, Mandai gained internal self-governance from 1935 and by 1946, was recognized as an independent nation. The city-state eventually defied odds by rapidly developing and industrialising under the leadership of the founding Liberal Democratic Party to become a high-income economy and developed country within a single generation.

Following a protracted period of agitation against Midrasian-Newreyan colonial rule, Mandai gained internal self-governance from 1935 and by 1946, was recognized as an independent nation. After early years of turbulence, the newly sovereign nation, viewed as a nonviable state by many due to its small size relative to its large population, geostrategic vulnerability and absence of natural resources, defied odds by rapidly developing and industrialising to become a high-income economy and developed country within a single generation.  


Mandai is a unitary semi-presidential constitutional republic and is rated as a "full democracy" as of 2019. The country is an ordinary member of the [[Commonwealth of Democratic Nations|CDN]], [[Aeian Public Health Organisation|APHO]], and [[Aeian Environment|AEA]], whilst maintaining an observatory membership in [[Cyningburgh Pact for International Security|CPIS]].  It is a highly developed country and placed highly in key social indicators: education, healthcare, quality of life, personal safety and housing, with a home-ownership rate of 90%. As a country boasting one of the highest GDP per capitas in the world, Mandai also hosts among the largest concentration of ultra high-net-worth individuals of any city in the world, though there is also severe income inequality among its residents. Mandainese enjoy one of the world's longest life expectancies and one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. It is additionally classified as an Alpha+ global city, ranking among the most expensive cities to live in and has been identified as a tax haven.
Mandai is the only truly sovereign megacity-state in the world; it has its own currency and a well-funded military that is considered one of the most advanced in Catai. It is a semi-direct democracy with a parliamentary system, proportional representation, and universal suffrage. The country has four official languages: Yen, Nafrasi, Newreyan, and Midrasian; As a legacy of its historical nature as an entrepôt, modern Mandai is a pluralistic country with a racially, culturally, and religiously diverse citizenry. Although the majority of the population are Yen and Nafrani-speaking, Mandainese national identity is rooted in a common historical background, and shared values such as direct democracy, pragmatism, meritocracy, and communitarianism. As a reflection of this diversity, multiracialism has been enshrined as a foundational principle of the state, and has shaped the country's politics and national policies, particularly in education and housing.  


Featuring several architecture styles such as Art Deco and shikumen, the city is renowned for its spectacular skyline, museums, resorts, and historic buildings—including the City God Temple, Yu Garden, the Mandai Pavilion, and buildings along the Bund. Mandai is also known for its dynamic cuisine, distinctive language, and vibrant international flair. Every year, the city hosts numerous national and international events, including Mandai Fashion Week, the Mandainese Grand Prix, and MandaiJoy trade fair. Since the late 20th century, Mandai has been renowned for its pop culture such as M-pop, TV dramas and cinema, a phenomenon referred to as the Mandai Wave. One of the world's most digitally-advanced societies featuring among the world's fastest Internet connection speeds, in 2005 Mandai became among the first states to hold elections over the Internet, and in 2014, one of the first states to provide e-residency.

Mandai, officially the Free State of Mandai, and informally referred to as the Pearl of the Orient and Lotrič of the East, is a sovereign city-state and country in Catai. It is located on the southern estuary of the RIVER, and the NAN River flows through it. Experiencing a humid subtropical climate throughout the year, Mandai borders Wáhngjau to the east. With a population of 24.2 million, 39% of whom are foreign nationals including permanent residents, it is one of the most populous cities in the world. Mandai is a global center for finance, innovation, and transportation, characterised by low taxation, free trade and deregulation, and the Port of Mandai is one of the world's busiest container ports.

Originally a fishing village and market town of Wáhngjau spanning more than a milennia, Mandai grew in importance in the 19th century due to trade and its favorable port location.

After early years of turbulence, the newly sovereign nation, viewed as a nonviable state by many due to its small size relative to its large population, geostrategic vulnerability and absence of natural resources, defied odds by rapidly developing and industrialising to become a high-income economy and developed country within a single generation.

Mandai is the only truly sovereign megacity-state in the world; it has its own currency and a well-funded military that is considered one of the most advanced in Catai.
