The A of the B of the C of the D of Zjaum is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by T'korov Eyeketrau with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 16.178 billion R'Koo-oi enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Administration and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wt'kroiya Turayi. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Wrau-yi economy, worth a remarkable 4,979 trillion wyis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 307,786 wyis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, and ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zjaum's national animal is the woiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Reformed Christianity.

Zjaum is ranked 754th in the world and 2nd in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 11,525.06 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
