The Federal Republic of Zodorlan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mussolini with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.592 billion Zodorlanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zodorlia. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zodorlanian economy, worth 290 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 182,648 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, revolutionaries only deal in CyanCatCoin, violence is always the answer in Zodorlan, and the comic book series 'Mussolini and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime is totally unknown. Zodorlan's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Zodorlan is ranked 32,935^th in the world and 251^st in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 108.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
