The People's Republic of Monde Naturel is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cookie Monster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.027 billion Naturelians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appouleia. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monde Naturelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,697 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,291 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cookie Monster has been nicknamed 'Robomop', the government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, future leaders of Monde Naturel regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, and athletes are renowned for being the best at maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Monde Naturel's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Monde Naturel is ranked 14,298^th in the world and 11^th in Cape of Good Hope for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,399.98 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
