The Grant of Montesa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ruperto Bolzonello with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.774 billion Montesans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castell'abrenica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The very strong Montesan economy, worth 843 trillion livroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 66,001 livroes, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', politicians frequently make unusual poses during speeches in hopes of inspiring the next internet fad, Ruperto Bolzonello has just been declared ruler of Montesa in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Montesa's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Montesa's national animal is the alpine unicorn, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Montesa is ranked 113,535^th in the world and 36^th in Grant for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,375.31 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
