The Dictatorship of Greater Zomburbia is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 200 million Zombies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.0%.
The strong Zombie economy, worth 11.6 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. Average income is 58,013 coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, hell is not always other people, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Zomburbia's national animal is the Goat.
Greater Zomburbia is ranked 196,904th in the world and 150th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Most Average, scoring 33.18 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
