The Untitled Empire of Monolithum is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Phillips de Jesus with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.872 billion Monolithumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cendres. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monolithumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion Myths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,479 Myths, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "do ya feel lucky, punk?" scene is on the core syllabus at the National Police Academy, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, and nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Monolithumian surveillance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monolithum's national animal is the Monolithumian Swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Monolithum is ranked 24,153^rd in the world and 29^th in The League for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 30,379.99 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
