The Artificial traffic Jam of 0M is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, triple-decker prams, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.959 billion 0Mians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 0Mian economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 136,342 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, modesty is treated with the side-eye, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0M's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

0M is ranked 251,216^th in the world and 3^rd in New Chesapeake for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
