The Kingdom of Montburg is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, triple-decker prams, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 240 million Montburgians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 48.1%.

The very strong Montburgian economy, worth 16.2 trillion marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,571 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, the government will gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today, and weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montburg's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Montburg is ranked 148,580^th in the world and 138^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,560.89 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
