The United States of Zulore is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Zulore with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.636 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 Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zulfyre City. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zulorean economy, worth 697 trillion Zul Rings and Ori Tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,248 Zul Rings and Ori Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, and Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room. 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 77,823^rd in the world and 930^th in The East Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 217.15 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
