The Marquisate of Montferrat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.226 billion Montferratians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Education are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.4%.
The very strong Montferratian economy, worth a remarkable 1,116 trillion crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 48,085 crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 146,890 per year while the poor average 12,200, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.
The government is seen to favor Catholics, voting is compulsory, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Montferrat's national animal is the ox.
Montferrat is ranked 172,873rd in the world and 2,528th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 92.58901713188 days.
