The 6mg Confederation of Zynland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Valko Nuuska with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.132 billion Zyns live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helzynki. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The all-consuming Zynish economy, worth 124 trillion Pouches a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 109,857 Pouches, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 569,727 per year while the poor average 11,477, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, claims adjusters are uselessly vague, and directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Helzynki as a backdrop. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zynland's national animal is the Zynish Beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zynland is ranked 75,937^th in the world and 160^th in Europeia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 38.28 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
