The United States of Zomuerta is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 109 million Zomuertans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.3%.

The very strong Zomuertan economy, worth 8.70 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 79,828 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 513,510 per year while the poor average 5,030, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Contracting work is a family-run enterprise, tax returns detail how many games of slots each citizen will be able to play with their refund, graffiti artists make up a significant portion of the coal mining population, and fake revenge can be served either cold or hot. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zomuerta's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zomuerta is ranked 220,234^th in the world and 22^nd in Merkopa for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
