The United States of Zulore is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Zulore with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.16 billion Zuloreans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zulfyre City. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zulorean economy, worth 633 trillion Zul Rings and Ori Tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,511 Zul Rings and Ori Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, and the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulore's national animal is the Double-headed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zulore is ranked 26,161^st in the world and 485^th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
