The State of Zymurgy Grande is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning deer population. The democratic population of 33.993 billion Zymurgy Grandeans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zymurgy Grandean economy, worth 990 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,138 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the eagle is a protected species, and Zymurgy Grande has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zymurgy Grande's national animal is the deer.

Zymurgy Grande is ranked 174,700th in the world and 428th in Ancient Lands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 868.08 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
