The RMB Spammers Will Be Ejected of Kissinger-Monroe is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Secretary of State with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, ban on automobiles, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.066 billion Kissinger-Monroeans 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 minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seward's Folly. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kissinger-Monroean economy, worth a remarkable 4,354 trillion Détentes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 197,342 Détentes, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Homophobia is off the menu, Seward's Folly Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, and a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kissinger-Monroe's national animal is the Hammerhead Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Banjecting.

Kissinger-Monroe is ranked 176,705th in the world and 43rd in The Bar on the corner of every region for Most Developed, scoring 53.8 on the Human Development Index.
