The Empire of ZYNATIC is a small, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and zero percent divorce rate. The democratic, devout population of 32 million Zynaticianens 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 government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zynatician economy, worth 1.19 trillion Haics a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,301 Haics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis, Automobile Manufacturing facilities are being turned into capybara habitats, and from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in ZYNATIC. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ZYNATIC's national animal is the capybara, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ZYNATIC is ranked 25,848^th in the world and 30^th in Portugal for Safest, scoring 111 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
