The Corner of Zichen-Zussen-Bolder is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by ene van riems with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.355 billion Zichen-Zussen-Bolderians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zichen-Zussen-Bolder. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zichen-Zussen-Bolderian economy, worth a remarkable 3,816 trillion Kampernoelies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,599 Kampernoelies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zichen-Zussen-Bolder's national animal is the Verke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zichen-Zussen-Bolder is ranked 212,977th in the world and 7,761st in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
