“Bridge in time”

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

The State of Tertius Zongo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.178 billion Tertius Zongoans 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 solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Tertius Zongoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,406 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 41,145 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,738 per year while the poor average 2,210, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the tenet of free speech is held dear, Tertius Zongo's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Tertius Zongo's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Tertius Zongo is ranked 152,114^th in the world and 4^th in Republic of Korea for Most Primitive, scoring -55.23 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
