The Republic of Zizo is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 743 million Zizoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cascar. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zizoan economy, worth 28.6 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,433 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, and Zizo has designated Cascar as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zizo's national animal is the Cardinal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zizo is ranked 264,120^th in the world and 55^th in Rosaria for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.66 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
