The Dictatorship of Zubari is a small, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 45 million Zubarians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Zubarian economy, worth 1.36 trillion Zubari dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 30,172 Zubari dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, bicyclists are banned from major roads, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zubari's national animal is the Lion.

Zubari is ranked 105,427^th in the world and 13^th in Middle East for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 837.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
