The Corporatocratic Monarchy of Betmet is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.08 billion Betmetians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port des Roses. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Betmetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,299 trillion Ridgers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,896 Ridgers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, the possibility of gain causes universal pain, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', and many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Betmet's national animal is the Royal Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Betmet is ranked 210,046th in the world and 33rd in Ridgefield for Most Stationary, with 37.32749694372 days.
