The Armed Forces of Zulankan Outpost 49 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 17.596 billion Zulankans 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but stagnant Zulankan economy, worth 261 trillion labor certificates a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 14,884 labor certificates, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulankan Outpost 49's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zulankan Outpost 49 is ranked 79,256th in the world and 1st in The Red Fleet for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
