The Country of Monotome is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Dan with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The hard-working, devout population of 5.422 billion Meaners 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 Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monotome Capital City. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.

The powerhouse Monotomean economy, worth 486 trillion mezins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,795 mezins, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Aging citizens are celebrating the end of the 'Early Bird War', formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and tourists call Monotomean beach towns "the fine coastline". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monotome's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Golden Cat.

Monotome is ranked 97,265^th in the world and 81^st in 10000 Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 11.39 Obesity Rate.
