The Holy Empire of Muntiano is a small, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 29 million Muntianoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.5%.

The Muntianoan economy, worth 1.58 trillion Paper Crosseses a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,596 Paper Crosseses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fireworks and other big bangs are forbidden during the newest public holiday, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muntiano's national animal is the sheep, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Muntiano is ranked 154,210^th in the world and 73^rd in The Union of Democratic States for Most Developed, scoring 55.24 on the Human Development Index.
