The Democratic Republic of Monolandia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.911 billion Monolandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Mono. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monolandian economy, worth 199 trillion Monopesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,289 Monopesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every week is blindness awareness week, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, they say that Monolandians made a dessert and called it peace, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monolandia's national animal is the Mono, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monolandia is ranked 25,328^th in the world and 606^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 244.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
