The Simian Society of IKEA Monkey is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Darwin the Monkey with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 29.856 billion Simians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darwin. The average income tax rate is 82.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming IKEA Monkeyian economy, worth a remarkable 5,140 trillion Darwin Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,162 Darwin Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Darwin the Monkey's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, every workday begins with group therapy, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IKEA Monkey's national animal is the Japanese Macaque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Darwinism.

IKEA Monkey is ranked 229,337^th in the world and 84^th in Canada for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,645 Standard Monetary Units.
