The Republic of Monsone is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Frederick Geiger with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.425 billion Monsonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seversvik. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monsonean economy, worth a remarkable 2,030 trillion Federalisks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 273,418 Federalisks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, and recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Monsone's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Monsone is ranked 233,929^th in the world and 398^th in Cape of Good Hope for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 16.74 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
