The Republic of Metaphysics- is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning crocodile population. The quiet, industrious population of 3.291 billion Metaphysics-ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Metaphysics-ian economy, worth 132 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,358 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Metaphysics-'s national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Metaphysics- is ranked 141,619^th in the world and 9^th in Orbis Alia for Most Primitive, scoring -43.59 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
