The Democratic Republic of Zpg is a mammoth, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.916 billion Zpgians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zpgian economy, worth 251 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 28,254 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zpg's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zpg is ranked 119,755^th in the world and 48^th in Pacifism for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 671.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
