The Kingdom of Montacier is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Montacierians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Montacierian economy, worth 636 billion montiers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 70,738 montiers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,393 per year while the poor average 14,429, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Montacier's national animal is the coc, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Montacier is ranked 15,686^th in the world and 4^th in Anteria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,089.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
