The Kingdom of Zantalio is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Valshem with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.818 billion Zantalis are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nichau. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zantali economy, worth 230 trillion Talents a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,854 Talents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, most people learn to drive on crash courses, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zantalio's national animal is the Dank bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Zantalio is ranked 291,351st in the world and 1,359th in Europe for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 46.24 Workforce Participation Rate.
