The Federal Village of MountAye is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Villager with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.177 billion MountAyers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsingtao. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MountAyean economy, worth 299 trillion bottle caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 137,482 bottle caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter MountAyean pirates, Prime Villager's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Tsingtao generates millions of views, the government defends a woman's right to choose, and birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers. Crime is totally unknown. MountAye's national animal is the sea dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Philosophy of Science.

MountAye is ranked 110,027^th in the world and 26^th in Philosophers for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,762.03 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
