The Free Land of Ezann is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.94 billion Ezannese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Ezannese economy, worth 304 trillion inzects a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 43,858 inzects, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The banshee wail foretells skies of death, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ezann's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Ezann is ranked 39,321st in the world and 5th in The LCRUA for Most Stationary, with 1,151.89001278992 days.
