The Panglobalist of Monarche is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kias with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.372 billion Monarchs 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 prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leviathan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Monarche economy, worth 199 trillion Aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 145,768 Aurums, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and environmentalists have found an unusual ally in soldiers of fortune. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monarche's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ascensionism.

Monarche is ranked 103,472^nd in the world and 318^th in First World Order for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 812.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
