The People's Republic of La Montilla is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 383 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 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Montillan economy, worth 26.0 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 67,895 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, billions of pesos are spent to take high-quality photos of the Black-crowned Tanager Nebula, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and the Montillan delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...". 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 258,004^th in the world and 129^th in Anteria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
