The United States of Zomuerta is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 162 million Zomuertans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality and Law & Order not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.0%.

The all-consuming Zomuertan economy, worth 16.2 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 99,748 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 639,195 per year while the poor average 6,352, a ratio of 100 to 1.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", most people think algebra is something a mermaid wears, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and urban planners beg for just one more lane before bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zomuerta's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zomuerta is ranked 331,351^st in the world and 27^th in Merkopa for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 2.98 Effective Tax Rate.
