The Dictatorship of Mondie is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Dahl with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 8.171 billion Mondieans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coalengrad. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mondiean economy, worth 898 trillion Brailens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,963 Brailens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is under the thumb of countless special interests, fat-shaming is now public policy, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, and people think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mondie's national animal is the Domestic Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Mondiean Lunar Mythology.

Mondie is ranked 175,002^nd in the world and 6,751^st in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 87.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
