The Sacred Republic of Zizo is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Algernon Farr with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.215 billion Zizans 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 government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luceria. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zizoan economy, worth 48.0 trillion Aureuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,476 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Windows in Luceria don't have much of a view, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime is totally unknown. Zizo's national animal is the Stygian Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zizo is ranked 178,497^th in the world and 48^th in Rosaria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 392.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
