The People's Democracy of Zuha is a massive, genial nation, ruled by COM-2000 with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.384 billion Comrades love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jiho. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zuhan economy, worth 353 trillion Social Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 148,053 Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, there's always a Bigtopian willing to eat COM-2000's table scraps, and children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zuha's national animal is the Great Red-Chested Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheeism.

Zuha is ranked 7,703rd in the world and 429th in Balder for Most Developed, scoring 92.32 on the Human Development Index.
