The Republic of Montmorencia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.786 billion Montmorencians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thunder Bay. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Montmorencian economy, worth a remarkable 2,691 trillion Francs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 306,324 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, students learn how to disarm mines before understanding basic arithmetic, CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, and the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores. Crime is totally unknown. Montmorencia's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Montmorencia is ranked 4,697^th in the world and 1^st in Meihua for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
