The Republic of Zaribia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andrea Vecchietti with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 33.424 billion Zaribians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.

The Zaribian economy, worth a remarkable 4,701 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 140,675 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,395 per year while the poor average 36,704, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.
