The State of Zymurgy Genesis is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 33.583 billion Zymurgy Genesisians 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The powerhouse Zymurgy Genesisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,852 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 55,147 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Political activists are routinely executed, all tariffs have been abolished, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime is moderate. Zymurgy Genesis's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zymurgy Genesis is ranked 220,297^th in the world and 6^th in Mozambique for Safest, scoring 27.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
