The Grand Republic of Monkingdom is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Andrew Gubs with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 3.099 billion Monkingdomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Brunes. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Monkingdomian economy, worth 454 trillion Geulds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 146,798 Geulds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, camo-patterned plush comfort blankets are standard issue for commandos, gay men commonly complain about their time of the month, and the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monkingdom's national animal is the Monkey and its national religion is NPCism.

Monkingdom is ranked 46,898^th in the world and 6^th in Banfield for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.83 Effective Tax Rate.
