The Republic of Montesina is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by José Martínez Ubiña with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.133 billion Montesinans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Beltrán. The average income tax rate is 17.9%.

The Montesinan economy, worth 411 trillion Sol de Oroes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 57,717 Sol de Oroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, the nation refuses to provide international aid, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montesina's national animal is the Iguana.

Montesina is ranked 254,341^st in the world and 44^th in Anaia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 513.89 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
