The Theocracy of Zonarhin is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, enforced nudity, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.31 billion Zonarhans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.9%.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Zonarhinian economy, worth 58.0 trillion Veryian Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 44,285 Veryian Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
It's best not to ask what goes into Zonarhin City Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic, and the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zonarhin's national animal is the Unicorn.
Zonarhin is ranked 238,176th in the world and 8,835th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
