The Republic of Zaila is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Kris Davisson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.279 billion Zailans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zaila City. The average income tax rate is 71.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zailan economy, worth 782 trillion Zailan Dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 148,163 Zailan Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, one does not simply walk into the tundra, President Kris Davisson shrugs in the face of growing inequalities, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime is totally unknown. Zaila's national animal is the mog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zaila is ranked 19,687^th in the world and 3^rd in The LCRUA for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,082.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
