The State of Zyopolis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 30.198 billion Zyopolisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zyopolisian economy, worth 415 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 13,763 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, meat-eating is frowned upon, and Zyopolis has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zyopolis's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyopolis is ranked 48,140th in the world and 8th in Brunei Darussalam for Most Stationary, with 921.06675773912 days.
