The Orwellian Dictatorship of Zaharial is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Evan R Mahaur with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.012 billion Zahari are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zahar city. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaharian economy, worth a remarkable 2,018 trillion Zahauroes 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 402,686 Zahauroes, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, and children entertain themselves by throwing rocks through the windows of world-class museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaharial's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leaderalism.

Zaharial is ranked 305,390^th in the world and 58^th in Mitteleuropa for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
