The Crown State of Monellandia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Henry I with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 20.532 billion Monellandians 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 Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weston. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Monellandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,820 trillion Rems a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,685 Rems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, delicate flowers faint at news of house plants being eaten, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monellandia's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Monellandia is ranked 8,630^th in the world and 21^st in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,989.71 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
