The People's Republic of Ziprotscria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Shimtaenek Atkunsinkar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.6 billion Ziprotscrians 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katyushankret. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ziprotscrian economy, worth 688 trillion Risenkas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 122,876 Risenkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ziprotscria's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ziprotscria is ranked 22,407^th in the world and 753^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,582.93 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
