The United Socialist States of Zloveshchiy is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alexei Volkov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.51 billion Zloveshchiyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Preispodnyaya. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Zloveshchiyian economy, worth 727 trillion Dengis 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,748 Dengis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zloveshchiy's national animal is the Panther and its national religion is Christianity.
Zloveshchiy is ranked 151,506th in the world and 140th in The League for Most Stationary, with 154.75947039832 days.
