The Peoples Republic of Zomotines is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.169 billion Zomotinesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vreusa. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zomotinesian economy, worth 478 trillion zomoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 150,964 zomoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rare steaks seem even bluer now, public parks are littered with cigarette butts, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, and dinosaur breeders have a yabba-dabba-doo gay old time in Zomotines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zomotines's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zomotines is ranked 146,218th in the world and 270th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 509.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
