The Constitutional Monarchy of Zhuo-luoja is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Rusaj Peromust with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.025 billion Zhuo-luojans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chakjakos. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Zhuo-luojan economy, worth 715 trillion Bouds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 71,410 Bouds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, petitioners are increasingly resorting to climbing through Governor Rusaj Peromust's window to draw attention to their issues, poverty is disloyal to the Motherland, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhuo-luoja's national animal is the lobster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Paganism.
Zhuo-luoja is ranked 34,898th in the world and 6th in The Sportsbook for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,600.76 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
