The Republic of Serge Monast is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 170 million Serge Monastians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Serge Monastian economy, worth 11.7 trillion Holograms a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 68,866 Holograms, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a big brother in every prison, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, all fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Serge Monast's national animal is the Nasa, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Serge Monast is ranked 292,354^th in the world and 57^th in Sovereign Corporate League for Largest Populations, with 170 million capita.
