The Cosmic Contiguity of Interdimensional Zone is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Citta Shakti with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.552 billion Alyzian Hybrids love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Andromeda. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alyzian economy, worth 200 trillion Higgs Bosons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,983 Higgs Bosons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interdimensional Zone's national animal is the Zeta Reticulan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Quantum Physics.

Interdimensional Zone is ranked 198,439^th in the world and 9,296^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
