The Commonwealth of Monson is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Richard Anderson Blackadder with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and digital currency. The compassionate, devout population of 7.051 billion Monsonians 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 Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Electroford. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Monson economy, worth 690 trillion conkers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,865 conkers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, and schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monson's national animal is the black thundercat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nostalgia.
Monson is ranked 284,661st in the world and 11th in Lewisham for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
