The People's Republic of La Montilla is a huge, genial nation, notable for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 441 million Montillans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guaitiao. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Montillan economy, worth 30.0 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 67,970 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Montillan delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", arbitration is mightier than the sword, Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Montilla's national animal is the black-crowned tanager, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

La Montilla is ranked 67,384^th in the world and 65^th in Anteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,843.76 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
