The Colony of Smoking Monkey is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.27 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 dominated by the Department of Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The strong Smoking Monkeyian economy, worth 82.5 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 64,923 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 418,438 per year while the poor average 4,069, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Smoking Monkey's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Smoking Monkey is ranked 107,711^th in the world and 3^rd in 000000 for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,062.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
