The Free Frysk Kingdom of Zukulu is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Queen Rose Engelyn of Zukulu with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 5.522 billion Zukuluans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nij Pretoria. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zukuluan economy, worth 736 trillion State Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,376 State Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government leaders testify at international tribunals on why the sun went out, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zukulu's national animal is the Frysk hynder, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zukulu is ranked 15,433^rd in the world and 914^th in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 24.99 average smiles per day.
