The Empire of Zukiya is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 209 million Zukis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The Zukiyan economy, worth 12.0 trillion Zukis and Glorbs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,616 Zukis and Glorbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, and commercials are consistently recorded in soft white rooms. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zukiya's national animal is the English crème golden retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zukiya is ranked 236,407^th in the world and 121^st in Covenant Shores for Most Secular, with 14.12 Atheism Rate.
