The United States of Zorgazia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Xankriel Cerejo with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.713 billion Zorgazians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xandria. The average income tax rate is 55.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Zorgazian economy, worth 286 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 167,011 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, and appliance stores are finding spy cameras embedded in their unboxed merchandise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zorgazia's national animal is the ICBM's, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Zorgazia is ranked 318,510^th in the world and 108^th in Sancturia for Nicest Citizens, with 0.45 average smiles per day.
