The Democratic Republic of Operation MONII is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 523 million Operation MONIIians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Operation MONIIian economy, worth 15.2 trillion francs 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 29,106 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, babysitters are a thing of the past, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Operation MONII's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Operation MONII is ranked 288,236^th in the world and 1^st in Minekhan Origin Nations II for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
