The Republic of Montanpique is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 319 million Montanpiqueans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.6%.

The powerhouse Montanpiquean economy, worth 26.5 trillion peso montanpiqueanoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 83,100 peso montanpiqueanoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 245,630 per year while the poor average 22,095, a ratio of 11.1 to 1.

Racehorses move a lot slower these days, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montanpique's national animal is the parrot.

Montanpique is ranked 238,263^rd in the world and 2,676^th in The East Pacific for Largest Populations, with 319 million capita.
