The Orwellian Dictatorship of Zaharial is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Evan R Mahaur with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.538 billion Zahari are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zahar city. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zaharian economy, worth 272 trillion Zahauroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 177,103 Zahauroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Zahari incessantly needle their doctors for relief, minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Zahauro battlesuits, and contestants on Zaharial's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaharial's national animal is the Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Leaderalism.

Zaharial is ranked 8,037^th in the world and 7^th in Mitteleuropa for Most Secular, with 96.98 Atheism Rate.
