The Empire of Zoming is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 10 million Zomingians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zomingian economy, worth 537 billion MINGS a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 53,765 MINGS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, meat-eating is frowned upon, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoming's national animal is the CORUJW, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zoming is ranked 104,633^rd in the world and 136^th in Aeternum for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 831.67 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
