The Dungeon Master of New Zander is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alekzander Tosh with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.64 billion Zanderians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zander City. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Zanderian economy, worth 172 trillion Zanders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,320 Zanders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Zander's national animal is the Cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

New Zander is ranked 34,528^th in the world and 8^th in The Empires And Republics Of Power for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 96.65 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
