The Empire of Zaladin is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 274 million Zaladians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Zaladin economy, worth 6.10 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,270 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, and there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Zaladin grocery store. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaladin's national animal is the shoebill stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Zaladin is ranked 42,253rd in the world and 5th in The Celestial Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 18.02 average smiles per day.
