The Republic of Meta of Meta-Panzerwels is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.293 billion Meta-Panzerwels are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Juramento. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.8%.

The Metae economy, worth 341 trillion Meta Tributes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,791 Meta Tributes, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crossing the road requires a risk assessment, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, aeroplanes have been converted into housing units after all air travel was outlawed, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meta-Panzerwels's national animal is the armored catfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Meta-Panzerwels is ranked 68,865^th in the world and 3^rd in Idealist States for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,474.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
