The Commonwealth of The Montanans is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Joseph Marland with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 2.907 billion Montanans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helena. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Montanan economy, worth 416 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 143,346 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, the people's love for President Joseph Marland is little more than self-preservation, the local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, and solid-gold toilets are Montanan prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Montanans's national animal is the White-Tailed Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Montanans is ranked 8,116^th in the world and 190^th in The East Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,572.39 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
