The Federal Republic of Zodorlan is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 306 million Zodorlanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zodorlia. The average income tax rate is 20.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zodorlanian economy, worth 32.3 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 105,478 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zodorlan's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Zodorlan is ranked 268,683^rd in the world and 719^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 0.83 flags saluted per person per day.
