The Most Serene Republic of Montevento is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Doge Christian Saavedra with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, prohibition of alcohol, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.545 billion Monteventanis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Città di San Giovanni. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monteventani economy, worth 348 trillion Monteventani Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 137,124 Monteventani Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

In a baffling press conference Doge Christian Saavedra proudly dismantled a broken door, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, surfing lessons include how to ward off sharks, and Doge Christian Saavedra is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Montevento's national animal is the Agouti, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Secularism.

Montevento is ranked 36,481^st in the world and 1^st in United Forum of Nations for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 105.06 on the Hayek Index.
