Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Zonom is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Zonomar with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.024 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zonom City. The average income tax rate is 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zonom's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the isk.

Zonom is ranked 119th in Balder and 4,104th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 13 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
