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, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.184 billion Monteventanis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Education and Environment 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 4.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monteventani economy, worth 648 trillion Monteventani Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,966 Monteventani Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, television executives are interested in turning Doge Christian Saavedra's zany home life into a sitcom, and in distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days. 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 219,603^rd in the world and 19^th in United Forum of Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -407.14 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
