The Fine Upstanding Rogues of Montopholous is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Montopholous Lemmini with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.402 billion Montopholousians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense is ignored. The average income tax rate is 89.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Montopholousian economy, worth a remarkable 2,169 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,273 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Montopholousian citizenship in droves, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime is totally unknown. Montopholous's national animal is the Lemming, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Montopholous is ranked 1,455^th in the world and 1^st in Imperial Britain for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 34,533.04 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
