The Republic of Monteviro is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Daiya Fortuna with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.233 billion Monteviroans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Von Hresvełg. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monteviroan economy, worth 648 trillion Ropunds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,165 Ropunds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The majority whip publicly spanks unruly public servants, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and legend has it Daiya Fortuna's shower singing echoes through the halls of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monteviro's national animal is the Aolenus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Monmonism.

Monteviro is ranked 152,298^th in the world and 35^th in Kantrias for Largest Populations, with 4.23 billion capita.
