“Mors aut honorabilis vita”

The Kingdom of Montelimar is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Armand I with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.749 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Montelimar, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Montelimar's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Livre.

Montelimar is ranked 67th in the region and 921st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
