The Empire of Monarch 53 is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Crowned Eagle population. The hard-working population of 236 million Monarch 53ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.0%.

The Monarch 53ian economy, worth 11.9 trillion Cadrilants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 50,518 Cadrilants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monarch 53's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Monarch 53 is ranked 186,818^th in the world and 3,459^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Beautiful Environments, with 485.12 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
