The People's Republic of Zoia is a small, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 20 million Zoians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Zoian economy, worth 122 billion Shillings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 6,104 Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoia's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zoia is ranked 284,962nd in the world and 79th in womp for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 411.88 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
