The Republic of Zuffix is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 675 million Zuffixians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zuffix City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zuffixian economy, worth 86.8 trillion souroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 128,597 souroes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 545,657 per year while the poor average 19,549, a ratio of 27.9 to 1.

Burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, the government is lending a hand to private industry, safe drinking water is considered a luxury, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime is totally unknown. Zuffix's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zuffix is ranked 56,591^st in the world and 199^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,878.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
