The Meritocracy of Zuriath is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Linjin Mai Quanpeng with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.936 billion Zuriathians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternal City of Bhan-Kran. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zuriathian economy, worth a remarkable 1,315 trillion mhons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 101,676 mhons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, and the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament. Crime is totally unknown. Zuriath's national animal is the Great Dragon Heojin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Horokonism.

Zuriath is ranked 252,562^nd in the world and 2,339^th in the West Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.33 Obesity Rate.
