“Unshakable unity”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Dictatorship of Jzonim is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 305 million Jzonimians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayapa. The average income tax rate is 31.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jzonimian economy, worth 20.6 trillion Vuos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,681 Vuos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, using "inspect element" is grounds for espionage charges, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jzonim's national animal is the Red bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jzonim is ranked 62,460^th in the world and 454^th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 636.17 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
