The Federal Republic of Monolfia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.448 billion Monolfians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esgothan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Monolfian economy, worth 454 trillion paws a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 131,837 paws, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 381,264 per year while the poor average 36,147, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

The musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute, the children of Monolfia are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, and industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monolfia's national animal is the bat, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Monolfia is ranked 157,685^th in the world and 1^st in Sigma Wolf for Most Extreme, scoring 17.85 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
