The Kingdom of Zantalio is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Valshem with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.875 billion Zantalis are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nichau. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zantali economy, worth 238 trillion Talents a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 127,303 Talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Most people learn to drive on crash courses, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, Zantali scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, and an IT mega-corporation has a patent pending on the rectangle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zantalio's national animal is the Dank bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Zantalio is ranked 152,333rd in the world and 674th in Europe for Most Extreme, scoring 18.7 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
