The Beautiful land of Mona Landia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lady Aliyana with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 13.249 billion Mona Landians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galaxia. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mona Landian economy, worth a remarkable 1,240 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 93,645 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mona Landia's national animal is the Mannequin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mona Landia is ranked 190,448^th in the world and 3,143^rd in the South Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 15.91 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
