The Democratic States of Montagmer is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.347 billion Montagierans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Idenstock. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Montagmerian economy, worth 138 trillion Quilles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,014 Quilles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Montagmerian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Montagmer in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Montagmer's national animal is the Gold Crested Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Montagmer is ranked 165,586^th in the world and 25^th in Selene for Largest Populations, with 2.35 billion capita.
