The Commonwealth of Monianoli is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 17.806 billion Monianolians 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 tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Monianolian economy, worth an astonishing 10,717 trillion Kols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 601,913 Kols, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,242,192 per year while the poor average 58,095, a ratio of 55.8 to 1.

Monianolian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, school football matches are usually five-a-side, billions of Kols are being blown on orbital weapons development, and Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Monianoli's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Monianoli is ranked 346,141st in the world and 4,968th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Tax Rates, with -6.61 Effective Tax Rate.
