The State of NZ is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.641 billion NZians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The very strong NZian economy, worth 642 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 34,461 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,294 per year while the poor average 1,851, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, deers are considered a delicacy, NZ has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of NZ in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. NZ's national animal is the deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

NZ is ranked 119,081^st in the world and 172^nd in Omega Prime for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,140.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
