The Queen's State of ZM

“Room to move”

The Queen's State of ZM is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.774 billion ZMians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The very strong ZMian economy, worth 731 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 41,165 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 279,874 per year while the poor average 2,211, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and ZM has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. ZM's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZM is ranked 61,756^th in the world and 156^th in Omega Prime for Highest Food Quality, scoring 30.33 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
