The Holy Empire of Monke City is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Monkey God with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.152 billion Monke are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monke City. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Monke economy, worth 202 trillion Monke Monies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 93,912 Monke Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Monke City are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, and the morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Monke City's national animal is the Monke, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Monkey God.

Monke City is ranked 33,445^th in the world and 1,855^th in Osiris for Most Patriotic, with 36.17 flags saluted per person per day.
