The Federal Empire of New Zora is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Mark Bluebird with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.028 billion New Zorans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zorania. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient New Zoran economy, worth 721 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,488 Imperial Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, and parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Zora's national animal is the New Zoran Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Zora is ranked 205,167^th in the world and 188^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Primitive, scoring -85.29 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
