The Kingdom of Metrogolon is a massive, genial nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 2.21 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 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Metrogolonian economy, worth 245 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 110,877 kreons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés. 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 100,142^nd in the world and 1,306^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,305.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
