The United Socialist States of The Montreal Commonwealth is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Nobody with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.329 billion Montreal Commonwealthians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Laurent. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Montreal Commonwealthian economy, worth 320 trillion bottlecaps 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Average income is 60,113 bottlecaps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown. The Montreal Commonwealth's national animal is the Neko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Montreal Commonwealth is ranked 233,566th in the world and 168th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
