The Community of New Monicia is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 308 million Monicas are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Monica economy, worth 12.2 trillion Amistads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,769 Amistads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in New Monicia, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and flags are commonly used as bonfire kindling. Crime is totally unknown. New Monicia's national animal is the Everything, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Monicia is ranked 150,889^th in the world and 186^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 421.48 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
