The State of Zweimonate is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 35.949 billion Zweimonateans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The powerhouse Zweimonatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,546 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 43,026 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,037 per year while the poor average 6,635, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, all tariffs have been abolished, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, and Zweimonate has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zweimonate's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zweimonate is ranked 321,952^nd in the world and 598^th in State for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -10.95 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
