The Shogunate of Mononobe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Shogun Mononobe no Futo with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.977 billion Mononobes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Toyosatomimi. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Mononobe economy, worth a remarkable 6,414 trillion Futo Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 229,291 Futo Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mononobe's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Taoism.

Mononobe is ranked 859^th in the world and 4^th in Gensokyo for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 81 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
