The State of The Smoking Monkey is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.049 billion Smoking Monkeyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong Smoking Monkeyian economy, worth 331 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 36,663 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,265 per year while the poor average 1,969, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, The Smoking Monkey has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of The Smoking Monkey in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Smoking Monkey's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Smoking Monkey is ranked 266,498^th in the world and 4^th in 000000 for Safest, scoring 12.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
