The Capitalist Democracy of Mettzacanoa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Manish with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 24.571 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 2.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mettzacanoan economy, worth an astonishing 11,216 trillion Mettz Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 456,487 Mettz Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing. 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 11,302^nd in the world and 161^st in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 24.6 billion capita.
