The Federation of Zarelevonne is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 20 million Zarelevonneans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The developing Zarelevonnean economy, worth 555 billion Zalcons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 27,773 Zalcons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Surveillance cameras are banned, military spending recently hit a new high, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zarelevonne's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zarelevonne is ranked 91,405th in the world and 55th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 1,570.45 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
