Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Liberal Paradise of ExYesZeppelin is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.519 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carouselambra. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ExYesZeppelin's national animal is the Black Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Custard.

ExYesZeppelin is ranked 220th in The Moon and 99,274th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
