The Radical Environmentalists of Zmon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Tree Of Eternal Wisdom with a fair hand, and renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.414 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, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jungle Grove. The average income tax rate is 99%. 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.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, notable individuals are granted land and titles, heavy industry grinds to a halt as new equipment must be biked in, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Zmon's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Gaian Ecologism, and its currency is the Butterfly Wing.

Zmon is ranked 11th in Social Liberal Union and 11,056th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 31 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
