The Federal Republic of Montarc is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Niculaie Theodorescu with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.891 billion Montarcians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nantois. The average income tax rate is 64.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Montarcian economy, worth a remarkable 1,677 trillion Monts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,564 Monts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, Montarc's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, and patriotic parents remind their children to drink plenty of water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montarc's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Montarc is ranked 15,974^th in the world and 746^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,083.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
