The State of Metlakatla is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 30.121 billion Metlakatlans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government is dominated by the Department of Welfare, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The strong Metlakatlan economy, worth a remarkable 1,042 trillion betales a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,604 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste and avoid even more costly cleanup costs, and the government is reigning in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Metlakatla's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Metlakatla is ranked 16,506th in the world and 3rd in Kiribati for Most Stationary, with 1,735.84605572448 days.
