The Republic of Zelly is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.721 billion Zellyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zellyian economy, worth 60.7 trillion Bunions a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,256 Bunions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zelly's national animal is the Harry, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zelly is ranked 94,458^th in the world and 217^th in The Wellspring for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,552.22 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
