The Republic of Metsakem is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dary Nymanla with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 1.445 billion Metsakemians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nättilä. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Metsakemian economy, worth 84.3 trillion Izhevays a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 58,370 Izhevays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Decaying farm hamlets have twice the representation of major urban areas, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Metsakem's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Western Orthodoxy.

Metsakem is ranked 239,588^th in the world and 3^rd in Torkavia for Most Secular, with 13.68 Atheism Rate.
