The Commonwealth of Monianoli is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.3 billion Monianolians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Monianolian economy, worth an astonishing 13,967 trillion Kols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 655,761 Kols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,997,136 per year while the poor average 167,112, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and town welcome signs list corporate sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Monianoli's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Monianoli is ranked 320,029^th in the world and 2,400^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -55.95 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
