Location: Schrodinger Political Party

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federation of Zion-Talmasca is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Nicholai Crux with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 2.299 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Students cut up leftover Credits during Arts and Crafts, Zion-Talmasca has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Nicholai Crux. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zion-Talmasca's national animal is the Bluejay, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Credit.

Zion-Talmasca is ranked 7th in Schrodinger Political Party and 98,621st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -34 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
