The Holy Empire of Monke City is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Monkey God with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.02 billion Monke are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monke City. The average income tax rate is 45.6%.

The powerhouse Monke economy, worth 194 trillion Monke Monies a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 96,532 Monke Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, people are often woken up by rubbish music, and there's a mortuary next to every Monke restaurant. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Monke City's national animal is the Monke, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Monkey God.

Monke City is ranked 242,159^th in the world and 9,974^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
