The Grand Duchy of Mountberg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mr President with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.892 billion Mountbergians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halifax. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Mountbergian economy, worth 462 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 159,863 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 533,855 per year while the poor average 35,613, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.
More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, and government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mountberg's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mountberg is ranked 144,049th in the world and 2,723rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 184.6779026394 days.
