The Dictatorship of Montonopoles is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 614 million Montonopolesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Montonopolesian economy, worth 30.5 trillion Ouroes a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,603 Ouroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, and commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montonopoles's national animal is the Papagaio , which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Montonopoles is ranked 319,767^th in the world and 5^th in Northern Sea for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.52 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
