The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.753 billion Metalheads 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metalopolis. The income tax rate is 100%.
