The United Republics of Multonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rodney Harrison with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.181 billion Multonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Multonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,705 trillion Multonian Zollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 99,247 Multonian Zollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, the judicial system legislates morality, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Rodney Harrison to meetings with foreign heads of state, and an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Multonia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Multonia is ranked 81,703rd in the world and 143rd in The Union of Democratic States for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,010.21 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
