The Great State of Dzuk is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rowan with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.976 billion Dzukians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rownas. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dzukian economy, worth 281 trillion Karūnąs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 142,488 Karūnąs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, a government program is underway to revitalize Dzuk's beaches, one complaint of Dzuk's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dzuk's national animal is the Sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Dzuk is ranked 25,977th in the world and 96th in The Communist Bloc for Most Corrupt Governments, with 82.05 kickbacks per hour.
