The Grand Duchy of Mon Sold is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Grand Duke Coenraad Botello-Gagliardi with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 4.934 billion Mon Soldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arberghast. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mon Soldian economy, worth 460 trillion jolsts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,391 jolsts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, wandering Mon Soldians are known for their one-track minds, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mon Sold's national animal is the bowhead whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicos Nesterianism.

Mon Sold is ranked 98,456^th in the world and 6^th in Esvanovia for Most Primitive, scoring 8.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
