The Democratic Republic of Methuania is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5 million Methuanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The strong Methuanian economy, worth 214 billion nerds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,881 nerds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,342 per year while the poor average 3,296, a ratio of 77.5 to 1.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Methuania's national animal is the hedgehog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Methuania is ranked 27,856^th in the world and 131^st in Concord for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.1 percentage of bribes refused.
