The Holy Lucky Christmas of Montrandec is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.58 billion Lucky Locals are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hampford. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Lucky economy, worth a remarkable 1,375 trillion Gold Brains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 181,506 Gold Brains, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 908,438 per year while the poor average 20,368, a ratio of 44.6 to 1.

Kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, it is universally agreed that the first 31 issues are the only ones with humor and charm (Montrandec has found 9 easter eggs), criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Montrandec's national animal is the Rudolph Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Athyism.

Montrandec is ranked 81,656th in the world and 464th in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 592.06446135628 days.
