The Kingdom of Moncapistan is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 62 million Consumers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 6.2%.

The powerhouse Capitalist economy, worth 5.52 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 88,986 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, bris parties are all the rage, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Moncapistan's national animal is the Libertarian Snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Moncapistan is ranked 80,416^th in the world and 7^th in The Western Front for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
