The United States of Metricized America is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, enforced nudity, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 126 million Metricized Americans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Metricized American economy, worth 1.16 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 9,215 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, extreme political groups are outlawed, public nudity is compulsory, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metricized America's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Metricized America is ranked 300,018^th in the world and 559^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 44.32 on the Human Development Index.
