“No God but the Proletariat”

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

The People's Republic of Zarkona is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 363 million Zarkonans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esterabad. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zarkonan economy, worth 31.3 trillion dirhams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 86,189 dirhams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, people can get away with murder these days, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Leader on Zarkona's coulrophobia epidemic, and Mona Lola's famous mysterious smile is being altered to resemble Leader's enigmatic grin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zarkona's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zarkona is ranked 186,310^th in the world and 144^th in Squeaky Squeakers for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 186.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
