The Constitutional Monarchy of Monte Claro is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 677 million Monte clarenses are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montreal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Monte Claroan economy, worth 71.1 trillion Pecunias a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 105,094 Pecunias, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, 90% of active duty MCAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, and Monte clarenses believe manners maketh the leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monte Claro's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Monte Claro is ranked 129,335^th in the world and 713^th in 10000 Islands for Highest Economic Output, with 71.1 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
