The Grand Complex of Zarfinyarful is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Uncle Butternubs with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.582 billion Zarfs are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Basement. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Zarfin economy, worth 273 trillion Barzels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,898 Barzels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Weekends are spent tilting at windmills, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", Zarfinyarful has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and school history books often refer to Uncle Butternubs as "that imperialist pig dog". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zarfinyarful's national animal is the Manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Butternubality.
Zarfinyarful is ranked 4,903rd in the world and 12th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,757.69 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
