The State of Zyopolis is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 35.552 billion Zyopolisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zyopolisian economy, worth 489 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 13,763 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, meat-eating is frowned upon, and Zyopolis has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zyopolis's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyopolis is ranked 193,988^th in the world and 451^st in State for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
