“Sagantore Zakrya!”

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

The Skandar of Zakrya is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Isaac Loydy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, rampant corporate plagiarism, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.076 billion Zakryanos 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoypolis. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Zakryano economy, worth a remarkable 2,268 trillion Dinamoes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 320,602 Dinamoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Employers are gradually adapting to the alien premise of paying wages to their workers, former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges, international commentators accuse the nation of aggressive cultural imperialism, and two inland cities have unveiled their new desalination plants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zakrya's national animal is the Gato, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zakrya is ranked 29,752^nd in the world and 9^th in Portugal for Most Authoritarian, with 2,484.86 milliStalins.
