The Protectorate of Monacolt is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 7.959 billion Monacoltians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.6%.

The powerhouse Monacoltian economy, worth 888 trillion Bits 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Retail. 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 an impressive 111,671 Bits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 427,717 per year while the poor average 20,124, a ratio of 21.3 to 1.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Monacolt, politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monacolt's national animal is the Yes, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the Virtual Boy.

Monacolt is ranked 64,508^th in the world and 450^th in Sunset Shimmer for Most Patriotic, with 27.8 flags saluted per person per day.
