The Republic of Monroe County is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 148 million Monroe Countyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Monroe Countyian economy, worth 5.73 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 38,702 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent. Monroe County's national animal is the dove.

Monroe County is ranked 190,954^th in the world and 7^th in Counties for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 22.75 Effective Tax Rate.
