The Orwellian Dictatorship of Zaharial is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Evan R Mahaur with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.432 billion Zahari 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zahar city. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaharian economy, worth a remarkable 2,290 trillion Zahauroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 421,619 Zahauroes, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, and sociologists ponder how baby-napped ethnic minority 'runaways' could have gone so bad so soon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaharial's national animal is the Cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Leaderalism.

Zaharial is ranked 272,437^th in the world and 44^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.51 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
