The People's Democracy of Zuha is a massive, genial nation, ruled by COM-2000 with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.193 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 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 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zuhan economy, worth 311 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, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,970 Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. 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 183,386^th in the world and 6,992^nd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 66.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
