The United Kingdom of Zachais is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Zach with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 29.341 billion Zachians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andirfell. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zachian economy, worth a remarkable 2,766 trillion Xronas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,284 Xronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Zachians make research institutes rich, the government's suicide hotline now redirects callers to local tax lawyers, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zachais's national animal is the Anarikamo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hyannaku.

Zachais is ranked 317,407^th in the world and 350^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
