The Democratic Republic of Sain Monika is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 138 million San Monikanoes are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The strong Sain Monikan economy, worth 8.77 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 63,535 Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Sain Monika's national animal is the Zorro, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sain Monika is ranked 53,425^th in the world and 1^st in Esperanto for Fattest Citizens, with 13.49 Obesity Rate.
