Location: A More Peaceful World

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Remote Islands of Tropical Montana is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.297 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 3%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds, military funding has been stripped back, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, and the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tropical Montana's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Tropical Montana is ranked 4th in A More Peaceful World and 4,413th in the world for Best Weather, with 86 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
