The Kingdom of Zoorland is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 723 million Zoordish are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoordville. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Zoordish economy, worth 72.5 trillion Zords a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,222 Zords, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoorland's national animal is the White Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zoorland is ranked 38,375th in the world and 425th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,522.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
