The Dictatorship of Zinatus Havionia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 9.276 billion Zinatus Havionians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Zinatus Havionian economy, worth 384 trillion dollars 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 41,446 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, babies are a small but significant export, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zinatus Havionia's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Zinatus Havionia is ranked 79,086th in the world and 16th in Keep of Darkness XL for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
