The Empire of Zufron is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The hard-working, democratic population of 247 million Zufronians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Zufronian economy, worth 14.1 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 57,152 florins, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zufron's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zufron is ranked 222,418^th in the world and 142^nd in Benigtopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
