The Federal Village of MountAye is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Villager with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.183 billion MountAyers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsingtao. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MountAyean economy, worth a remarkable 2,045 trillion bottle caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 182,944 bottle caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, and apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. MountAye's national animal is the sea dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Philosophy of Science.

MountAye is ranked 11,363^rd in the world and 11^th in Philosophers for Highest Poor Incomes, with 119,232.25 Standard Monetary Units.
