The State of Zymurgy Island is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.895 billion Zymurgy Islandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.5%.

The Zymurgy Islandian economy, worth 819 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 32,916 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zymurgy Island's national animal is the deer.

Zymurgy Island is ranked 123,254^th in the world and 6^th in Tegucigalpa for Most Beautiful Environments, with 536.11 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
