The Nuca Colony of Iris and Metis is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.702 billion Stargazers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The strong Iris and Metisian economy, worth 103 trillion rupees a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 60,884 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Iris and Metis's national animal is the fox.

Iris and Metis is ranked 224,265^th in the world and 97^th in Founderless for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 86.68 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
