The People's Republic of Ziprotscria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Shimtaenek Atkunsinkar with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.619 billion Ziprotscrians 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 medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katyushankret. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ziprotscrian economy, worth 696 trillion Risenkas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 123,890 Risenkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', mandatory updates on software drivers often bring life to a halt, and Shimtaenek Atkunsinkar's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ziprotscria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ziprotscria is ranked 38,640^th in the world and 853^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,713.14 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
