The Jingoistic States of Matsukaze META is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 4.301 billion Matsukaze METAians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 32.1%.

The Matsukaze METAian economy, worth 175 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,882 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Taxpayer money is hard at work exorcizing laundry, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, and schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Matsukaze META's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Matsukaze META is ranked 133,645^th in the world and 2^nd in Chiba for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 529.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
