The Republic of Monkey 20 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.165 billion Monkey 20ians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.7%.

The strong Monkey 20ian economy, worth 438 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,318 florins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 220,855 per year while the poor average 3,462, a ratio of 63.8 to 1.

Much of Monkey 20's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, finding half a worm in your apple is an arrestable offense, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Monkey 20's national animal is the monkey, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Monkey 20 is ranked 262,610^th in the world and 1,059^th in Chicken overlords for Lowest Crime Rates, with 44.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
