The Holy Empire of Monquista is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Fernando with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.66 billion Monquistans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monquista City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.2%.
The all-consuming Monquistan economy, worth 914 trillion Gold Coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,714 Gold Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,020 per year while the poor average 17,906, a ratio of 19.7 to 1.
Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, long-wed spouses often regret proposals they made when they were twenty, and curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monquista's national animal is the Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Holy Monquistan Church.
Monquista is ranked 71,069th in the world and 1,597th in Ambition for Safest, scoring 94.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
