The Dictatorship of Zorogana is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 50 million Zoroganans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Zoroganan economy, worth 1.10 trillion Zorns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 21,951 Zorns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass, immigration test hopefuls are taught immigrant blood is purple, motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", and the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zorogana's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zorogana is ranked 69,233^rd in the world and 55^th in The Eternal Order for Most Patriotic, with 20.32 flags saluted per person per day.
