The Republic of Monkey 1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 11.739 billion Monkey 1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monkey City. The average income tax rate is 44.1%.

The strong Monkey 1ian economy, worth 751 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,054 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monkey 1's national animal is the monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monkey 1 is ranked 68,401^st in the world and 121^st in Chicken overlords for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 111.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
