The Sultanate of Dr John Zoidberg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Richard Nixon with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 21.735 billion Zoidbergians 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.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoidberg City. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Dr John Zoidbergian economy, worth a remarkable 1,323 trillion pearls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,882 pearls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, and President Richard Nixon can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids.
