The Empire of Zwienberg is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 666 million Zieses enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.1%.

The Zwienbergian economy, worth 30.1 trillion Dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,244 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Jollity-related fatalities are on the increase, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and woefully uninformed voters cast their ballots at random. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zwienberg's national animal is the zie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zwienberg is ranked 139,289^th in the world and 7,329^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 489.83 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
