The Holy Empire of The Zhao Dynasty is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Zhao the 12th with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.48 billion Zhaos 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lugiin. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Zhao economy, worth 858 trillion Lis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,883 Lis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bars are packed at all hours, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Zhao Dynasty's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Zhao Dynasty is ranked 143,094th in the world and 2,853rd in Balder for Most Stationary, with 190.7331070974 days.
