The Kingdom of Metrogolon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.193 billion Metrogolonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of kironal. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Metrogolonian economy, worth 241 trillion kreons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 110,098 kreons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metrogolon's national animal is the horned owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Metrogolon is ranked 17,743^rd in the world and 434^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,407.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
