The Matriarchy of Metsasienia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Parexocoetus brachypterus with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.068 billion Metsasienians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Metsasienian economy, worth 64.3 trillion potatoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,176 potatoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parexocoetus brachypterus can cry on demand, daydreaming on public transport is considered impolite, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime is totally unknown. Metsasienia's national animal is the flying fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Metsasienia is ranked 54,951^st in the world and 2^nd in Islands of Hypnerotomachia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,824.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
