The Second Thirstly of Ezeem is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.969 billion Ezeemians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.8%.

The very strong Ezeemian economy, worth 565 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,954 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,722 per year while the poor average 14,076, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, the homeless more often beg for mercy than money, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ezeem's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ezeem is ranked 102,194^th in the world and 11^th in The Mansus for Highest Average Incomes, with 70,954.29 Standard Monetary Units.
