The Free City of Monstropolis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by CEO Henry J Waternoose III with an even hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.298 billion Monstropolitans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monsters University. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Monstropolitan economy, worth 429 trillion screams a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 130,175 screams, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 725,727 per year while the poor average 11,657, a ratio of 62.3 to 1.

Oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, people are always complaining about dam builders running behind schedule, activists are attempting to repeal Moore's Law, and ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Monstropolis's national animal is the monster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Monstropolis is ranked 282,238^th in the world and 136^th in Mitteleuropa for Safest, scoring 4.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
