The Republic of Montanpique is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working, democratic population of 307 million Montanpiqueans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.6%.

The powerhouse Montanpiquean economy, worth 25.5 trillion peso montanpiqueanoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 83,100 peso montanpiqueanoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,630 per year while the poor average 22,095, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Racehorses move a lot slower these days, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montanpique's national animal is the parrot.

Montanpique is ranked 89,060^th in the world and 1,417^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,805.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
