The Just Relaxing Factbook Hold of Zalcara is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zali. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zalcaran economy, worth 436 trillion Atzzes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology.
