The Federal Republic of Zolystia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Dmitry Doughnut with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.316 billion Zolystians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hodasa. The average income tax rate is 82.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zolystian economy, worth 388 trillion Lems a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,132 Lems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zolystia's national animal is the Zolystian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Zolystia is ranked 17,441^st in the world and 235^th in Europe for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 23,379.87 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
