The Alle verbraucht moshpit of THE POED METALHEDZ is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Die Eisen-Leiter Furher with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.847 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Die Metall-Kopf-undurchlassig . The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Gambling.

Atheists and evolutionary biologists are fleeing the country like rats from a sinking ship, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, the government's only official statement on the burning down of Die Metall-Kopf-undurchlassig was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless', and the religious lobby has the power of veto over health initiatives. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. THE POED METALHEDZ's national animal is the were-owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Die Unholy Sekte Metalistism , and its currency is the Damon Knochen.

THE POED METALHEDZ is ranked 3rd in NAZI EUROPE and 2,104th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 28 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
