The Principality of Monk Slania is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 2.244 billion Monk Slanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Monk Slanian economy, worth 191 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Soda Sales. Average income is 85,170 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has legalised small-scale capitalism, prospective parents are cheering on the streets as they no longer need a license to have children, the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, and the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monk Slania's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monk Slania is ranked 3,391^st in the world and 1^st in Nevadia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 9,912.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
