The Kingdom of ZUChat is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Cody with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 35.792 billion ZUChatians 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 enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ZU City. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient ZUChatian economy, worth a remarkable 5,066 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 141,560 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in ZUChat, laughter while watching foreign diplomats disrobe tends to make diplomatic talks counterproductive, and the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZUChat's national animal is the Goron, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hylianity.

ZUChat is ranked 112,804th in the world and 8th in Hyrule for Most Stationary, with 352.78235755248 days.
