The State of ZR is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.953 billion ZRians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The powerhouse ZRian economy, worth 698 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 38,934 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 264,708 per year while the poor average 2,092, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and ZR has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. ZR's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZR is ranked 287,777^th in the world and 211^th in Omega Prime for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
