The Republic of Monstar is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 4.296 billion Monstarians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Monstarian economy, worth 39.1 trillion rubledollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 9,109 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monstar's national animal is the monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monstar is ranked 204,629^th in the world and 5,442^nd in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 294.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
