The Confederacy of Zoran is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 558 million Zoranians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoradia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoranian economy, worth 52.9 trillion Zorallas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 94,752 Zorallas, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, light entertainment isn't dead, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zoran's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zoran is ranked 26,601^st in the world and 986^th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,442.09 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
