The Free Frysk Kingdom of Zukulu is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Rose Engelyn of Zukulu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 5.662 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 82.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zukuluan economy, worth 754 trillion State Guilders a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,114 State Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, Zukuluan doors require a Ph.D. to open, and the recycled air in planes is nauseating. 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 240,241^st in the world and 12,178^th in Balder for Rudest Citizens, with 29.68 insults per minute.
