The Prospering Empire of New Ziah is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Leonardo II with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.704 billion Zians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Zian economy, worth a remarkable 1,724 trillion qullers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 257,298 qullers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,129,972 per year while the poor average 36,838, a ratio of 30.7 to 1.
Online tourism reviews of New Ziah are suspiciously positive and amazingly similar, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. New Ziah's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Any.
New Ziah is ranked 239,569th in the world and 5,112th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 21.7829027256 days.
