The Capitalist Democracy of Mettzacanoa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Manish with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, otherworldly petting zoo, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.914 billion Mettzacanoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The average income tax rate is 1.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mettzacanoan economy, worth an astonishing 10,246 trillion Mettz Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 447,183 Mettz Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Mettzacanoa's radio stations, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, and demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mettzacanoa's national animal is the Sphinx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a religion with no followers.

Mettzacanoa is ranked 292,610^th in the world and 7,216^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
