The Zombie of Higher Thermidor is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Executive Directorate with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, conspicuous electricity pylons, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.614 billion Higher Thermidorians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thermopolis. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Higher Thermidorian economy, worth 623 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 172,505 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, a determined opposition debates the relative benefits of Arial and Times New Roman for days on end, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Higher Thermidor's national animal is the tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Higher Thermidor is ranked 319,662nd in the world and 1,290th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
