Zomuerta

The United States of Zomuerta is a large, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 155 million Zomuertans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.0%.

The powerhouse Zomuertan economy, worth 15.0 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 96,803 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 617,954 per year while the poor average 6,228, a ratio of 99.2 to 1.

Paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, labour strikes are routinely squashed by police, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zomuerta's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zomuerta is ranked 131,262nd in the world and 17th in Merkopa for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,385.83 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
