The Republic of Mountaineering is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.837 billion Mountaineeringians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.0%.

The Mountaineeringian economy, worth 128 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,303 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mountaineering's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mountaineering is ranked 112,670^th in the world and 4,516^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
