The Anarchic Zone of Montination is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Monty with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.463 billion Montïans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diamond City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Montï economy, worth a remarkable 5,262 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 319,651 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 915,179 per year while the poor average 88,880, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Most foreigners can't name the leader of Montination, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, and the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Montination's national animal is the ghoul, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Survival.

Montination is ranked 289,226^th in the world and 693^rd in United States of America for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.68 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
