The Crowned Republic of Zugtok is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Malik ⅩⅠ with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, devout population of 1.979 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 International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fova. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The strong Zugtokish economy, worth 135 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 68,252 muzeyens, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many aides in Malik ⅩⅠ's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, Malik ⅩⅠ's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, concussed amphiptereball players cannot remember their lineup position, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. 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 120,511^th in the world and 578^th in Europeia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 655.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
