The United States of Metungan is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 116 million Metunganites 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The Metungian economy, worth 7.03 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 60,584 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, and what goes down must come up. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metungan's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Metungan is ranked 110,520^th in the world and 167^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Safest, scoring 77.84 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
