The Republic of Zceria is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 131 million Zcerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Zcerian economy, worth 3.47 trillion Zachars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 26,505 Zachars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zceria's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zceria is ranked 113,850^th in the world and 5,778^th in Balder for Largest Governments, scoring 15.23 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
