The Republic of Metaverse is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8 million Metaverseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.0%.
The strong Metaversean economy, worth 384 billion PHPS a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 48,034 PHPS, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is moderate. Metaverse's national animal is the eagle .
Metaverse is ranked 141,243rd in the world and 552nd in Concord for Most Developed, scoring 56.78 on the Human Development Index.
