The Dominion of The Allied States of Monkes is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Monke with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.542 billion Monkes love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Monke City. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monke economy, worth 163 trillion Moolahs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 105,815 Moolahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and getting an infected tattoo is considered a rite of passage in The Allied States of Monkes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Allied States of Monkes's national animal is the Monke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Cult of The True Sun God.

The Allied States of Monkes is ranked 137,117^th in the world and 7,051^st in Chicken overlords for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,703.19 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
