The State of Zuzam is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 36.935 billion Zuzamians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The very strong Zuzamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,781 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 48,219 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,836 per year while the poor average 2,590, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Deer is one of the most popular forenames in Zuzam, all tariffs have been abolished, voting is voluntary, and Zuzam has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zuzam's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zuzam is ranked 2,784th in the world and 179th in State for Largest Populations, with 36.9 billion capita.
