The Kingdom of Metrogolon is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.099 billion Metrogolonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of kironal. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Metrogolonian economy, worth 215 trillion kreons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 102,599 kreons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Metrogolonian selfishness, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, interest in globalism never flags, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metrogolon's national animal is the horned owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Metrogolon is ranked 233,622^nd in the world and 2,986^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
