The United States of Metatton is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 510 million Metattonians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong Metattonian economy, worth 32.8 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,337 Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,860 per year while the poor average 10,562, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, nervous homeowners have been blamed for rising death rates amongst carol singers and locksmiths, the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, and Metatton recently decided against having a capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Metatton's national animal is the Mettabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Metatton is ranked 67,104th in the world and 1st in The United States of Campbell for Nudest, with 193.75 cheeks per square mile.
