The Empire of Zhou is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Dragon population. The hard-working population of 3.641 billion Han Chinese 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.
The Zhouan economy, worth 198 trillion Gold coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 54,575 Gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low. Zhou's national animal is the Dragon.
Zhou is ranked 44,372nd in the world and 1,552nd in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,082.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
