The Commonwealth of Monianoli is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.197 billion Monianolians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Monianolian economy, worth a remarkable 9,368 trillion Kols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is a breathtaking 578,400 Kols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,774,998 per year while the poor average 145,799, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Mothers drive their college-graduate children to work, the only movement outdoors is of ramen-delivery drones, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and the silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Monianolian democracy. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Monianoli's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Monianoli is ranked 23,931st in the world and 382nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 16.2 billion capita.
