The RMB Spammers Will Be Ejected of Kissinger-Monroe is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Secretary of State with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.906 billion Kissinger-Monroeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seward's Folly. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kissinger-Monroean economy, worth a remarkable 3,107 trillion Détentes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 173,525 Détentes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The backs of 'No Trespassing' signs were made for you and me, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, The Secretary of State claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', and pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kissinger-Monroe's national animal is the Hammerhead Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Banjecting.

Kissinger-Monroe is ranked 2,351st in the world and 6th in The Bar on the corner of every region for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 172,137.14 Standard Monetary Units.
