The Kingdom of Vzaria is a small, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 32 million Vzarians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Vzarian economy, worth 536 billion Lei 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports. Average income is 16,772 Lei, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vzaria's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Vzaria is ranked 270,750^th in the world and 228^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -51.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
