The Federal Empire of New Zora is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Mark Bluebird with an even hand, and notable for its triple-decker prams, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 5.106 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 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient New Zoran economy, worth 731 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,177 Imperial Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and companies have begun running campaigns to stop people from remembering their brand name. 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 1,374^th in the world and 3^rd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Safest, scoring 156.02 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
