“Amat Victoria Curam”

The Emirate of Metty is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.918 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry.

Every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, school uniforms are compulsory, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metty's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound.

Metty is ranked 10th in the region and 52,311th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
