The People's Republic of Ziprotscria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Shimtaenek Atkunsinkar with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.533 billion Ziprotscrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katyushankret. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ziprotscrian economy, worth 678 trillion Risenkas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 122,690 Risenkas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
