The Democratic Republic of Monolandia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.911 billion Monolandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Mono. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monolandian economy, worth 199 trillion Monopesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,399 Monopesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monolandia's national animal is the Mono, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monolandia is ranked 25,359^th in the world and 607^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 244.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
