“If It Was Not For The Lawyers”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The District of Zouyah is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 30.168 billion Zouyahians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The thriving Zouyahian economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 48,644 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 140,879 per year while the poor average 13,310, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is a problem. Zouyah's national animal is the deer.

Zouyah is ranked 191,175^th in the world and 500^th in State for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
