The Nobel Vigilante of Masked Zorro I is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Don Diego de la Vega with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 29.741 billion Masked Zorro Iians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pueblo of Los Angeles. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Masked Zorro Iian economy, worth a remarkable 6,045 trillion Silver Pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 203,255 Silver Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, visiting the best Masked Zorro Iian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, it turns out you can put a price on sporting integrity, and a politician who is photographed pulling a funny face while eating can say goodbye to their credibility. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Masked Zorro I's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Masked Zorro I is ranked 7,804^th in the world and 170^th in NationStates for Highest Food Quality, scoring 177.57 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
