The People's Republic of Ziprotscria is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Shimtaenek Atkunsinkar with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.322 billion Ziprotscrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katyushankret. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ziprotscrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,760 trillion Risenkas a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,596 Risenkas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, many in Ziprotscria are born in the purple, all facts are created equal, and leisure is a crime in ski towns. Crime is totally unknown. Ziprotscria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Nakareshism.

Ziprotscria is ranked 265,378^th in the world and 3,517^th in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
