The State of Zomet is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.805 billion Zometians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.4%.

The strong Zometian economy, worth a remarkable 1,242 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,670 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Zomet Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zomet's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zomet is ranked 191,322^nd in the world and 1^st in Bangkok for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
