Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Soviet Socialist Party Zone of Neo Ozia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.482 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Ozia City. The average income tax rate is 97%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded, and Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Neo Ozia's national animal is the Dove, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Crimson Drake.

Neo Ozia is ranked 1st in Soviet Confederation and 101,188th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
