The Holy Empire of Monke City is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Monkey God with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.091 billion Monke are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monke City. The average income tax rate is 46.0%.

The powerhouse Monke economy, worth 202 trillion Monke Monies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 96,871 Monke Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Monke City are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, and the morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Monke City's national animal is the Monke, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Monkey God.

Monke City is ranked 51,053^rd in the world and 1,771^st in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,604.55 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
