The District of Zyckyl is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 37.508 billion Zyckylians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 87.6%.

The Zyckylian economy, worth a remarkable 1,771 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 47,224 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation, a major religion has been named as Zyckyl's national religion, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and Zyckyl has designated District City 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. Zyckyl's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyckyl is ranked 53,399^th in the world and 1^st in State for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 5,127.49 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
