The United Socialist States of Zollias is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 8.513 billion Zolliasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Zolliasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,336 trillion Ration Tickets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 156,954 Ration Tickets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Zollias City to enjoy their national art, a passport is literally priceless, and Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zollias's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zollias is ranked 4,698th in the world and 17th in The Internationale for Safest, scoring 132.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
