The State of Zurm is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, humorless population of 25.005 billion Zurmians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Public Transport, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zurmian economy, worth 380 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 15,198 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, military spending recently hit a new high, cars are banned, and Zurm has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zurm's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zurm is ranked 44,938th in the world and 268th in 0000 for Most Stationary, with 979.39678290788 days.
