The Most Serene Republic of Zheng Fa is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 175 million Zheng Fans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The all-consuming Zheng Fan economy, worth 19.3 trillion Fan Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 110,132 Fan Yuan, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 545,766 per year while the poor average 12,602, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity, Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Zheng Fa's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zheng Fa is ranked 83,586^th in the world and 1,714^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,511.51 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
