The Commonwealth of Zhurek is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 136 million Zhurekians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.3%.

The strong Zhurekian economy, worth 8.64 trillion silxes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,513 silxes, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", it's illegal to be caught on tape, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhurek's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zhurek is ranked 188,052^nd in the world and 842^nd in Europeia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
