The Dictatorship of Jzonim is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 292 million Jzonimians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kayapa. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Jzonimian economy, worth 19.8 trillion Vuos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,782 Vuos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are equipped with multi-million Vuo battlesuits, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and bizarre-looking creatures called 'Red beardogs' dominate wildlife preserves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jzonim's national animal is the Red bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jzonim is ranked 104,867th in the world and 560th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,902.15 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
