The Capitalist Democracy of Mettzacanoa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Manish with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.501 billion Mettzacanoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Happy's Funland. The average income tax rate is 2.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mettzacanoan economy, worth an astonishing 11,150 trillion Mettz Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 455,102 Mettz Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, binoculars sales are at an all-time high, and the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mettzacanoa's national animal is the Sphinx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a religion with no followers.

Mettzacanoa is ranked 193,071^st in the world and 2,871^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,107.5 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
