The Republic of Zyropia is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 93 million Zyropians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zyropian economy, worth 5.14 trillion Zyropian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,304 Zyropian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, feeling like a winner comes at a price, the government pours millions of Zyropian Dollars into rehabilitation programs annually, and it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Leader's childhood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zyropia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyropia is ranked 110,029^th in the world and 2,444^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,042.35 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
