The State of Monagas is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Governor Ernesto Luna with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 8.446 billion Monagasians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maturín. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Monagasian economy, worth 998 trillion bolivars 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 118,267 bolivars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hospitals in Monagas are too busy serving the needs of Venezuela to see Monagasians, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and it turns out you can teach cats new tricks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Monagas's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Monagas is ranked 33,866^th in the world and 1^st in Venezuela for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,494.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
