The People's Republic of Zaeli is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by General Secretary Millie Parsons with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate population of 8.628 billion Zaelians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xerum. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,321 trillion Zaelian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 153,130 Zaelian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, billion-Zaelian Credit sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts, and the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaeli's national animal is the Rusty-spotted cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Zaeli is ranked 284,585^th in the world and 309^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
