The Dizzying Perspective of So Meta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Observatron with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.058 billion So Metans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sprawl. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.
The frighteningly efficient So Metan economy, worth a remarkable 1,863 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 185,235 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, visions of giant pink Air Pigs are a common side effect after So Metans eat their meals, and a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. So Meta's national animal is the Air Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Navel Gazing.
So Meta is ranked 107,583rd in the world and 9th in Schopenhauer for Most Stationary, with 380.9591659082 days.
