The Troutskyist Monarchy of Matallian Aaland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Troutmaster Métécos with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.348 billion Matal-Aalanders are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gardo'Ren-Trouthorpe. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Matal-Aalandic economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion Trout 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 Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 118,224 Trout, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are required to report any and all incidents of prayer to their local Religious Affairs Officer, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Matallian Aaland, being Troutmaster Métécos has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matallian Aaland's national animal is the Squidney, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Marto-Troutskyism.

Matallian Aaland is ranked 112,366th in the world and 4,598th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 78.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
