The Imperial Kingdom of Montagne Riche is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Her Imperial Majesty Henriette II with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, triple-decker prams, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 6.233 billion Montagnais are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Genève. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Montagnais economy, worth 869 trillion Montagne Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 139,463 Montagne Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All the playground's a stage for Montagnais schoolchildren, farmers in arid regions are puzzled with government directions to plant rice this year, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montagne Riche's national animal is the Rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Montagne Riche is ranked 148,840^th in the world and 542^nd in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 137 billion Standard Monetary Units.
