The Holy promiscuity of Ziggurat is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by high priests with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 2.411 billion Zigguratians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Ur. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The very strong Zigguratian economy, worth 159 trillion silvers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,081 silvers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ziggurat's national animal is the Anzu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The intellect of man.

Ziggurat is ranked 234,451^st in the world and 80^th in Flanelistan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
