The Sacred Republic of Zizo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Algernon Farr with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.082 billion Zizans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luceria. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zizoan economy, worth 42.7 trillion Aureuses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,476 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Windows in Luceria don't have much of a view, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime is totally unknown. Zizo's national animal is the Stygian Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zizo is ranked 76,671^st in the world and 38^th in Rosaria for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
