The Zocran Occupied Colony of Zocra-Nelson is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.957 billion Zocra-Nelsonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Welfare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Defense and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nadiaville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.0%.

The powerhouse Zocra-Nelsonian economy, worth 432 trillion Zurcais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,414 Zurcais, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.

Political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet', playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and this year's comedy award has left mothers-in-law seething. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Zocra-Nelson's national animal is the Dairy Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zocra-Nelson is ranked 46,886th in the world and 3rd in United Alliances for Most Corrupt Governments, with 43.85 kickbacks per hour.
