The Republic of Metamorkid is a huge, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning kiwi population. The democratic population of 249 million Metamorkidians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Metamorkidian economy, worth 11.2 trillion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,795 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Metamorkid's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Metamorkid is ranked 189,718^th in the world and 12^th in Dawn for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
