The Commonwealth of The Montanans is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Joseph Marland with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 2.894 billion Montanans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helena. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Montanan economy, worth 413 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 142,763 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, young adults still believe that White-Tailed Deer deliver newborns to expecting parents, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Montanans's national animal is the White-Tailed Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Montanans is ranked 249,704^th in the world and 4,507^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
