The Community of Metisverse is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory vegetarianism, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.008 billion Metisverseans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Metisverse Capital. The average income tax rate is 28.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Metisversean economy, worth 27.1 trillion Metis a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,866 Metis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Metisverse Capital" has been described as a real blow for entertainment, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Metisverse' is a smash hit, and extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metisverse's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Metisverse is ranked 196,837^th in the world and 48^th in Metisverse for Safest, scoring 43.95 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
