The Imperial Monastic Republic of Old Siberian Monks is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Brother Michael the Malecidal with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.926 billion Siberians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Erikesh-um. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Siberian economy, worth 489 trillion chai ver coins a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,457 chai ver coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 382,395 per year while the poor average 17,813, a ratio of 21.5 to 1.

Skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Brother Michael the Malecidal's bedroom, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Siberian Monks's national animal is the chai ver cat and its national religion is Christianity.

Old Siberian Monks is ranked 24,821^st in the world and 449^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 65,741.1 Standard Monetary Units.
