The Curial Republic of Zyrcrestia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Camerlengo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.749 billion Zyrcrestians 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zyrtulai. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zyrcrestian economy, worth a remarkable 7,584 trillion zyrces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 254,942 zyrces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The official Zyrcrestian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and pootling steam trains carry delighted tourists and frustrated businessmen from city to city at a snail's pace. Crime is totally unknown. Zyrcrestia's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Zyrcrestia is ranked 53,087th in the world and 335th in 10000 Islands for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 584.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
