The Fourth Republic of Montarc is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Marrick Hertzog with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.082 billion Montarcians 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, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Komsa. The average income tax rate is 45.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Montarcian economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion Herns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 174,684 Herns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, Montarc's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, and patriotic parents remind their children to drink plenty of water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montarc's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Montarc is ranked 17,923^rd in the world and 876^th in The North Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 26.93 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
