The Republic of Zanthamun is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its digital currency, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 396 million Zanthamunians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Básţon. The average income tax rate is 49.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Zanthamunian economy, worth 29.5 trillion bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 74,491 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zanthamun's national animal is the white-eared fruit bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Zanthamun is ranked 281,180th in the world and 1,322nd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 0.51 flags saluted per person per day.
