The Dictatorship of Zedong mao is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.256 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

The nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, loans are available for students from poor families, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Zedong mao's national animal is the xxx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the xxx.

Zedong mao is ranked 1st in Sev Space and 8,306th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 4 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
