The Incorporated States of Zephiric is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Zephiric Council with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.202 billion Zephiricians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Zephira. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zephirician economy, worth 341 trillion digibits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 154,992 digibits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 645,372 per year while the poor average 24,332, a ratio of 26.5 to 1.

The country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat, The Zephiric Council spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, the government is dead set on letting people rest in peace, and prison is a nightmare. Crime is totally unknown. Zephiric's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zephiric is ranked 135,249^th in the world and 92^nd in Lands End for Highest Food Quality, scoring 17.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
