Montesayette, officially the Montesayettean Commonwealth (Quebecshirite: Communauté montesayette), is a landlocked country on the Ecros continent of Terraconserva. Much of the country is covered by grassland steppe, with scattered volcanic mountain ranges in the northwest. The country is bordered to the south by Terranihil and to the east by Quebecshire and Eleutherios. The country's capital and largest city is Nerfoy. Other major urban areas include Bosmont, Lavignole, Darbonnay, Audrecelles, and Hamicourt.
Montesayette is a federal parliamentary republic; however, unlike other such republics, the president serves as both head of state and head of government, and his tenure is subject to the confidence of the National Assembly. President Léonard Dreyfus currently leads the executive branch, while Speaker Jean-Baptiste Brisbois, who also serves as President of the National Assembly, leads the legislative branch.

History
Indigenous peoples
The indigenous peoples of modern-day Montesayette are descendants of nomadic herders known as ancient Montesayetteans, who crossed the Montesayettean steppes for centuries, if not millennia. Modern archaeologists believe the ancient Montesayetteans were related to the Ayreoshubic Empire, but the absence of empirical evidence keeps the idea a hypothesis. Moreover, due to their secluded environment, the ancient Montesayetteans were not introduced to writing until the arrival of the Quebecshirites to colonize them, making it far more difficult to trace evidence of their origins.
The indigenous population was estimated to be between 200,000 and two million inhabitants at the time of the first Quebecshirite settlements in 1470, a figure that has since been questioned. The first contact between indigenous people and Quebecshirites was documented as anything but antagonistic due to spoken language similarities between both sides, which led to the general adoption of the Quebecshirite language in Montesayette from that point forward. The indigenous population also contributed to the establishment of Quebecshirite settlements in Montesayette, particularly in helping Quebecshirite coureur des bois and voyageurs in their explorations of the Monesayettean valleys.

Government and politics
Montesayette has been described as a "flawed democracy," with a social democratic framework and an egalitarian, moderate political stance. The political culture of Montesayette has been marked by a dedication to achieving social justice. The general public in Montesayette is apolitical, and the government is technocratic, meritocratic, pragmatic, and authoritarian. The Montesayettean Constitution is the country's supreme founding document, and it has been untouched since 1991. At 98 legal pages, it is renowned as one of the most thorough constitutional laws ever enacted, making it practically impossible to interpret the constitution in favour of any party.
