Location: the Rejected Realms

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Final Fit of Zyonn is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Overlord Zorak with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.573 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dianastan. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zyonn's national animal is the rejected kittie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the question mark.

Zyonn is ranked 1,281st in the Rejected Realms and 101,073rd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -58 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
