OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Isle of Zhadum is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Naaman Ascher with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.559 billion Zhadumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drakh. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zhadumian economy, worth 149 trillion ferroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 41,979 ferroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Lord Naaman Ascher has just been declared ruler of Zhadum in an international press conference, Tehom-Elism has been named as Zhadum's national religion, dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhadum's national animal is the spider crab and its national religion is Tehom-Elism.

Zhadum is ranked 79,930th in the world and 18th in Atlantis for Most Stationary, with 606.48154240712 days.
