The Holy Empire of West Zantonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Our Most Revered God-Emperor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.044 billion Zantonites 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blessed Virkodo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.
The frighteningly efficient West Zantonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,724 trillion Mollaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 235,721 Mollaris, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,649,557 per year while the poor average 11,571, a ratio of 142 to 1.
Large areas of West Zantonia are not accessible by the public, children often kick Pangolins for amusement, female brains are believed to heat up dangerously when 'overclocked', and mouldy bread is served as an appetizer in many restaurants. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. West Zantonia's national animal is the Pangolin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Word Of The God-Emperor.
West Zantonia is ranked 326,914th in the world and 1,478th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.34 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
