The State of Monroe is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.629 billion Monroeans 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 Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The strong Monroean economy, worth 874 trillion betales 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 Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 55,921 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 360,420 per year while the poor average 3,505, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Monroe's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Monroe is ranked 208,222^nd in the world and 369^th in United States of America for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.06 kickbacks per hour.
