The Grand Republic of Zillaskia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Richie Payne with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.16 billion Zillaskians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silmarc. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zillaskian economy, worth a remarkable 5,349 trillion Quintoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 252,806 Quintoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown. Zillaskia's national animal is the Two-Headed Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Faith of Lord Blundergosh.

Zillaskia is ranked 19,859^th in the world and 1^st in The Zilliaskian Banter Alliance for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
