The Republic of Zynthari is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.139 billion Zyntharians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lopez Ville. The average income tax rate is 36.8%.

The all-consuming Zyntharian economy, worth 106 trillion Zyntharian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 93,095 Zyntharian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, and passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zynthari's national animal is the Peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Zynthari is ranked 73,324^th in the world and 1,250^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 41,015.49 Standard Monetary Units.
