The Disastrous Planes of ZOCOM is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Overlord with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.181 billion Minion Hoarde 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dark Tower. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.
The thriving a Minion economy, worth a remarkable 2,231 trillion Gold peices a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,346 Gold peices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, every workday begins with group therapy, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZOCOM's national animal is the Golem, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
ZOCOM is ranked 4,157th in the world and 3rd in The Great Chili for Most Stationary, with 3,495.70609608 days.
