The Empire of Monroe Hill is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Her Majesty Empress Eléonore with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.761 billion Monroeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpes-Maritimes. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monroean Hill economy, worth a remarkable 2,507 trillion Francs 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an amazing 286,173 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, it's customary to greet the monarch with fist bumps, the military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall', and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monroe Hill's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Messianic.

Monroe Hill is ranked 308,067^th in the world and 45^th in New United Kingdom of Albion for Most Secular, with 2.94 Atheism Rate.
