The Republic of Zweisimmen is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.177 billion Zweisimmenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zweisimmenian economy, worth 126 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,754 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother, and former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zweisimmen's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zweisimmen is ranked 235,328^th in the world and 544^th in Novaya Zemlya for Safest, scoring 39.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
