The Crowned Republic of Zugtok is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Malik ⅩⅠ with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avowedly heterosexual populace, and pith helmet sales. The hard-working, devout population of 1.639 billion Zugtokites are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Law & Order and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fova. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Zugtokish economy, worth 111 trillion muzeyens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,070 muzeyens, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of babies crying for milk in the middle of the day, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, many aides in Malik ⅩⅠ's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, and Malik ⅩⅠ's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zugtok's national animal is the amphiptere, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Almis.

Zugtok is ranked 107,828^th in the world and 370^th in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 596 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
