The Principality of Monforte is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Your Highness with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 13.364 billion Monforteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monfortinho. The average income tax rate is 67.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Monfortean economy, worth a remarkable 1,765 trillion Monfortis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 132,086 Monfortis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The official Monfortean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monforte's national animal is the Monfortean Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Progressive Christianity.

Monforte is ranked 9,757^th in the world and 2^nd in The Constitutional Democratic States for Healthiest Citizens, with 15.68 bananas ingested per day.
