The Republic of Methevia is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.431 billion Methevians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Methevian economy, worth 182 trillion Rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 127,451 Rubles, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 783,684 per year while the poor average 9,046, a ratio of 86.6 to 1.

Electricity company executives pray nightly to Zeus and Thor, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, the immigration system seems to favor young unmarried women, and Methevia has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Methevia's national animal is the Kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Methevia is ranked 314,934^th in the world and 3,189^th in the Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -11.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
