AWKWARD ZOMBIE

The Constitutional Monarchy of Unbalanced is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government concentrates mainly on Religion & Spirituality, although Commerce and Social Welfare are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing industries.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Unbalanced's national animal is the the upstanding member of society, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the loonie.

The Abused Students of College de Montreal is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Jacques Giguère with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.155 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giguère Burg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Gambling.

The government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, military service is compulsory, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and the Great College de Montreal Desert is reputedly the most uninhabitable place in the region. Crime is a major problem. College de Montreal's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

The Corrupted Nation of Kalekemo is a massive, safe nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.687 billion 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

Kalekemo's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, and retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalekemo's national animal is the Werewolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Credit.

The Empire of Squigzog is a fledgling, devout nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their cheddar however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government is mainly concerned with Religion & Spirituality, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 22%. A substantial private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Voting is voluntary. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Squigzog's national animal is the squig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the squig.

Squigzog is ranked 10th in the region and 30,492nd in the world for Most Income Equality.
