The Community of Moncoeur is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, feral children, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.103 billion Moncoeurians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.8%.
The very strong Moncoeurian economy, worth 743 trillion hearts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 73,555 hearts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Political dissidents are cut off from essential services, the nation's apology for those it has executed in the last year has come a little late for some, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for dove sacrifices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Moncoeur's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Moncoeur is ranked 192,958th in the world and 33rd in Libertium for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 668.93 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
