The State of Zymurgy Secundus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 29.798 billion Zymurgy Secundusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Welfare and Spirituality not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The powerhouse Zymurgy Secundusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,391 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 46,702 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,441 per year while the poor average 10,455, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zymurgy Secundus's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zymurgy Secundus is ranked 24,031^st in the world and 1^st in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,890.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
