The People's Republic of Zapatal is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 244 million Zapatalis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Zapatalian economy, worth 11.7 trillion Veris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,019 Veris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zapatal's national animal is the Swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Zapatal is ranked 43,548th in the world and 363rd in The Leftist Assembly for Smartest Citizens, with 46.98 quips per hour.
