The Republic of Zagerdaidjan is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.463 billion Zagerdaidjanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zagerdaidjanian economy, worth 63.9 trillion Pecins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,706 Pecins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, nudity is frowned upon, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and the East Deidisian tur is a protected species. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zagerdaidjan's national animal is the East Deidisian tur.

Zagerdaidjan is ranked 201,828^th in the world and 13^th in Middle East for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
