The Community of Monochrome Town is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 838 million Monochrome Townians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of None. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Monochrome Townian economy, worth 26.1 trillion mops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,166 mops, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, it is often said that only Leader could bring down Dàguó, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", and the government is frequently held to ransom by the increasing demands of bloodthirsty pirates. Crime is well under control. Monochrome Town's national animal is the Grand Space Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monochrome Town is ranked 56,902nd in the world and 4th in The Real Christmas for Nudest, with 202.5 cheeks per square mile.
