The Republic of Zyropia is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 140 million Zyropians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zyropian economy, worth 7.82 trillion Zyropian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 55,874 Zyropian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a politician called Male Infant Cruise, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), the art of conversation has been rediscovered, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zyropia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyropia is ranked 78,301^st in the world and 2,378^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 91.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
