The Peoples Republic of Zomotines is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.164 billion Zomotinesians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vreusa. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zomotinesian economy, worth 476 trillion zomoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 150,496 zomoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Child labor has been outlawed, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, and the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zomotines's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zomotines is ranked 13,912th in the world and 380th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,586.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
