The Natural Order of Itzoma is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Itzo with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 27.093 billion Itzomen are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shamballah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.1%.
The all-consuming Itzoman economy, worth a remarkable 2,360 trillion Byzantiums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 87,132 Byzantiums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 324,443 per year while the poor average 16,424, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.
It's hunting season on loan sharks, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh, and debate rages over whether ground fish guts can be spread on fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Itzoma's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.
Itzoma is ranked 31,885th in the world and 15th in Texas for Most Corrupt Governments, with 68.05 kickbacks per hour.
