The Matriarchy of Metrostania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.5 billion Metrostanians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The all-consuming Metrostanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,960 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 111,559 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 590,923 per year while the poor average 11,155, a ratio of 53.0 to 1.

The army's shirt ninjas are the most feared assassins in the region, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffer-driven limousines, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, and mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Metrostania's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Metrostania is ranked 995th in the world and 1st in The Great Green Federation for Most Stationary, with 4,758.70528776 days.
