The Theocracy of Zorkiy is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 5.009 billion Zorkiyians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 20.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Zorkiyian economy, worth 214 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,796 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and teachers regularly paddle unruly students. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zorkiy's national animal is the Kitsune.
Zorkiy is ranked 156,435th in the world and 10th in Soviet Navy for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 993.07 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
