The Money Loving States of Monkey Consortium 3 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.197 billion Monkey Consortium 3ians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense is also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.
The strong Monkey Consortium 3ian economy, worth 123 trillion bananas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 55,999 bananas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 326,908 per year while the poor average 4,513, a ratio of 72.4 to 1.
Patriots insist that size does matter. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Monkey Consortium 3's national animal is the monkey, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Monkey Consortium 3 is ranked 97,787th in the world and 773rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Patriotic, with 15.31 flags saluted per person per day.
