The ឵឵឵឵ of Island Zero is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Z3 with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.812 billion Islanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Furnace. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Zeron economy, worth a remarkable 6,568 trillion bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 745,383 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, science fiction is seen as the leading cause of mental breakdowns, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown. Island Zero's national animal is the tardigrade, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Island Zero is ranked 25,275th in the world and 21st in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Stationary, with 1,454.59127044988 days.
