The Zotectorate of Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzu- is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, fear of technology, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 27.141 billion Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzu-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sombor. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzu-ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,662 trillion Franks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,929 Franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzu-'s national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzu- is ranked 282,012th in the world and 10,685th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 5.51 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
