The State of Zona Oriental is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 20.762 billion Zona Orientalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 7.0%.

The strong Zona Orientalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,325 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 63,856 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and Zona Oriental has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zona Oriental's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zona Oriental is ranked 16,960^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of Uruguay for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,307.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
