The Republic of Montecara is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Colegio with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy and daily referendums. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.248 billion Montecarans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montecara. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.5%.

The powerhouse Montecaran economy, worth a remarkable 2,301 trillion libras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 91,166 libras, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,533 per year while the poor average 25,550, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, new religious sects are squashed immediately by the government, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, and guns are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Montecara's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is fine dining.

Montecara is ranked 260,678^th in the world and 36^th in Kylaris for Most Influential, scoring 35 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
