The Republic of Zolistan is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.935 billion Zolistanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Zolistanian economy, worth 543 trillion Usques a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,041 Usques, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, and politicians always seem reluctant to publish their tax returns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zolistan's national animal is the turtle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Zolistan is ranked 6,888th in the world and 107th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
