The Commonwealth of Metropolitan Grove, founded in 2005, is a community with a population of approximately 40,000 and is located in the state of Maryland, in The United States of America; its semi-autonomous local government is headed by a regional administrator, who is chosen every two years in a non-partisan election. The official animal is the dachshünd, and the currency is the dollar.
Metropolitan Grove has a moderately active economy, with a GDP of about $319,292,279. The annual government budget of $50,478,624 is divided amongst the competing priorities of faith-based initiatives (33%), law and order (30%), human rights (12%), education (10%), environmental services (9%) and general government (6%); two earlier major tax cuts resulted in temporary economic benefits, but these were offset in part by subsequent modest tax increases. The educational system features the state's only municipal 4-year college, which prides itself not on selectivity but rather on its ability to provide a rigorous college-level education to any city resident at least 18 years of age regardless of prior educational background. The city is served by a nearby commuter rail station. For unknown reasons, the unemployment rate has skyrocketed recently, and now stands at 18.3%.
Violent crime is almost unheard of thanks to the city's growing police force. The government recently inaugurated a one-call center which allows all city agencies to be reached at 301 950-1682, with the exception of the police and the city college.
Fire protection and emergency medical services are provided on a contractual basis by the volunteer fire departments in two neighboring jurisdictions. Compulsory military service was abolished in 2005.
