The Third Social Alliance of Menonten is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 27.819 billion Kyldellians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newborn City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kyldellian economy, worth an astonishing 16,741 trillion Grams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 601,783 Grams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menonten's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Morvolox.

Menonten is ranked 147^th in the world and 1^st in Philippines for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,679.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
