The State of Zyzygy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 25.052 billion Zyzygyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Spirituality is also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The powerhouse Zyzygyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,231 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,157 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 150,166 per year while the poor average 12,472, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, euthanasia is legal, the government is avowedly atheist, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zyzygy's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyzygy is ranked 85,609th in the world and 6th in Minsk for Highest Food Quality, scoring 25.85 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
