The Protectorate of Zaehtdck is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.547 billion Zaehtdckians 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 relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Zaehtdckian economy, worth 61.9 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,011 rupees, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Euthanasia is legal, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zaehtdck's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zaehtdck is ranked 253,709^th in the world and 37^th in APA for Highest Average Incomes, with 40,011.41 Standard Monetary Units.
