The Orwellian Dictatorship of Zaharial is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Evan R Mahaur with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.419 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 2,281 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 420,980 Zahauroes, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', children play a simplified version of hopscotch, police wait behind troop deployments in order to shoot deserters, and toddlers anxiously check factory assignments on their third birthday. 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 17,346^th in the world and 8^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,283.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
