The Republic of New New Zum is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 272 million New New Zumians 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 large government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zumia. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New New Zumian economy, worth 21.0 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,317 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, the diplomatic corps stinks, and roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New New Zum's national animal is the Okapi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New New Zum is ranked 182,179^th in the world and 222^nd in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 12.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
