The Federal Empire of New Zora is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Mark Bluebird with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, prohibition of alcohol, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 5.083 billion New Zorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zorania. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient New Zoran economy, worth 733 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,283 Imperial Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Zora's national animal is the New Zoran Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Zora is ranked 21,344^th in the world and 25^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,901.39 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
