“Oh Betmetian Youth, Raise the Sound of Betmet”

Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Crowned Republic of Betmet is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.264 billion Betmetians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port des Roses. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Betmetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,336 trillion Ridgers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,235 Ridgers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and AIs make up a majority of the long-term warehouse population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Betmet's national animal is the Royal Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Betmet is ranked 11,535^th in the world and 5^th in Ridgefield for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,455.47 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
