The United States of Zulore is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zulore with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.445 billion Zuloreans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zulfyre City. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Zulorean economy, worth 659 trillion Zul Rings and Ori Tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,524 Zul Rings and Ori Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, and Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulore's national animal is the Double-headed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zulore is ranked 32,487^th in the world and 569^th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 19.56 average smiles per day.
