The Holy Empire of Angry Monks is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.3 billion Angry Monksians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Environment, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Healthcare and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Monastary. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Angry Monksian economy, worth 90.8 trillion holy golden coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 12,441 holy golden coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is completely gun-free, Angry Monks's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Angry Monks's national animal is the gentle pet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Angry Monks is ranked 33,366^th in the world and 1,797^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 107.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
