The Better Newts of Zayzi is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Hillary C with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.67 billion Zayzians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zayzian economy, worth 825 trillion zeds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,720 zeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, kindhearted Zayzians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries, organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zayzi's national animal is the newt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zayzi is ranked 32,606^th in the world and 4^th in Key Results Union for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,546.94 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
