The Cæsarian Egyptian Empire of Zimobia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Claudius Romulus Deshinus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.407 billion Zimobians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bourgania. The average income tax rate is 69.3%.

The very strong Zimobian economy, worth 374 trillion Denariis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling and Retail. Average income is 44,543 Denariis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

It's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Zimobia, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, and overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zimobia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zimobia is ranked 252,897^th in the world and 88^th in Sancturia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
