The Federal Republic of Zaquristan is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.014 billion Zaquristanians 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 Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The strong Zaquristanian economy, worth 405 trillion Rupees a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,602 Rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Zaquristan's national animal is the Markhor.

Zaquristan is ranked 171,354^th in the world and 76^th in Greater Middle East for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
