The Mod Scared Nation of Montrandec is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 766 million Montrandecians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United Cities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Montrandecian economy, worth 86.1 trillion Montrandecian Golden Checks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 112,399 Montrandecian Golden Checks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 480,992 per year while the poor average 16,838, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Montrandec's radio stations, teachers regularly paddle unruly students, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Montrandec's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Montrandec is ranked 26,862^nd in the world and 19^th in Montrandecs Neighbours for Most Secular, with 36.31 Atheism Rate.
