The People's Republic of Ziprotscria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Shimtaenek Atkunsinkar with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.639 billion Ziprotscrians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katyushankret. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ziprotscrian economy, worth 700 trillion Risenkas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 124,238 Risenkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, Ziprotscrians refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, and biological warfare is used to solve small disagreements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ziprotscria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ziprotscria is ranked 11,914^th in the world and 591^st in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 149.42 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
