The Corporatocratic Monarchy of Betmet is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.527 billion Betmetians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jennifers Lush. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Betmetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,079 trillion Ridgers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,594 Ridgers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich, money grows on trees, and music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs. Crime is totally unknown. Betmet's national animal is the Betmetian Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Betmet is ranked 249,206^th in the world and 308^th in Anteria for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -73.27 on the Hayek Index.
