Nation/Kingdom of Zurmanx

The Constitutional Monarchy of Kingdom of Zurmanx is a huge, safe nation, ruled by it's King Abian I, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-working, democratic population of 405 million Zurmanxians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Vitoria. The average income tax rate is 34.8%.

The strong Zurmanxian economy, worth 20.5 trillion Manaws a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,535 Manaws, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Bris parties are all the rage, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Zurmanx's national animal is the Manx Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kingdom of Zurmanx is ranked 37,173rd in the world and 1st in IVS for Safest, scoring 102.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
