The State of Zhonghai is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.467 billion Zhonghaians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 16.9%.

The Zhonghaian economy, worth 585 trillion betales a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,099 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Military funding has been stripped back, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and Zhonghai has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhonghai's national animal is the deer.

Zhonghai is ranked 240,844^th in the world and 8^th in South China Sea for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
