The Imperial Federation of The State of Monavia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charles IX and Elizabeth VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 28.016 billion Monavians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chalcedon. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Monavian economy, worth a remarkable 5,084 trillion Monavian thalers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 181,485 Monavian thalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The new Grand Inquisitor of Righteous Scientific Inquiry has ordered a surprising amount of hemlock, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, and film studios own the rights to actors' likenesses until the next millennium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The State of Monavia's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The State of Monavia is ranked 20,035^th in the world and 3^rd in Nova for Smartest Citizens, with 61.25 Quips Per Hour.
