The Socialist Federal Republic of Zepstovia is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 883 million Zepstovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valigrad. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Zepstovian economy, worth 78.1 trillion Zepstovian Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,470 Zepstovian Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, and pranking is an art form. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zepstovia's national animal is the wildcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Zepstovia is ranked 28,297th in the world and 209th in Europe for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 76.25 Workforce Participation Rate.
