The population of Metharia consist of about 3.5 billion inhabitants, but only about 5 millions devote themselves exclusively to space travel. There exist no cities or highly crowded areas, but people usually live in houses which are harmonically embeded in the countryside. Those who have decided to join a space mission, they may spend a great part of their lifetime on a space ship . On Metharia there are no differences in the living conditions. There is no separation by terms like poor and rich, educated and non-educated, and there is no disagreement in religious questions, for the spiritual laws are evident to everyone.
All people have the same conditions to spend a life in harmony and without compulsion.
Everything is available for everyone, and nobody would like to keep something from his brother or his sister, or even to take away consciously. The creation in its endless richness is only a gift on loan, a tool for spiritual development. Technical perfection is not wanted for itself, but for the good and the benefit of all living beings. Harmony can be said to be the most important basic condition for the life and development of the Santinians. It manifests in a certain balance of relationships.
