The Kickboxers of Zafara is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.525 billion Zafarans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zafaran economy, worth 462 trillion rupees a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,383 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zafara's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zafara is ranked 87,341st in the world and 1st in Clockworks Frontier for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
