The Unitary State of Zimmerdachen is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Glorious Sun Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.293 billion Zimmerdens enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haben. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Zimmerdachian economy, worth a remarkable 4,701 trillion Rauns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 307,447 Rauns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,074,995 per year while the poor average 63,902, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.
Female smokers cut their hair and don suits to get into male-only clubs, Glorious Sun Leader has killer fashion sense, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zimmerdachen's national animal is the Frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Zimmerdachen is ranked 155,448th in the world and 6,003rd in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 612.54 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
