The Commonwealth of Pieter Zeeman is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.368 billion Pieter Zeemanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.6%.
The all-consuming Pieter Zeemanian economy, worth 779 trillion Guldens 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 105,841 Guldens, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 413,276 per year while the poor average 18,488, a ratio of 22.4 to 1.
Biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, and military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pieter Zeeman's national animal is the Zeeman effect, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Pieter Zeeman is ranked 36,833rd in the world and 9th in Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for Most Stationary, with 1,236.04019504488 days.
