The Holy Dáxlamic Woodlands of Monks Hill is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.465 billion Monks Hillians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pagan Hill. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Monks Hillian economy, worth 194 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 35,612 Dáxlamic Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, Monks Hillian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and catching an old friend by surprise on the street can be a shocking experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monks Hill's national animal is the Dáxlamic Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Monks Hill is ranked 281,512th in the world and 196th in Declansburg for Smartest Citizens, with 19.73 quips per hour.
