The Federal Republic of Zaliath is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Henri Zacler with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 12.508 billion Zaliathians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanlow. The average income tax rate is 61.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zaliathian economy, worth a remarkable 1,912 trillion Zaliathian Reineses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 152,937 Zaliathian Reineses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaliath's national animal is the Spectacled Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zaliaism.

Zaliath is ranked 49,853^rd in the world and 1^st in Zaliath for Most Corrupt Governments, with 49.53 kickbacks per hour.
