The Republic of Zajan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by zijabox with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.174 billion Zajanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zajan. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zajanian economy, worth 433 trillion Najazzes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,726 Najazzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, economists claim no news is good news, Zijabox reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zajan's national animal is the Kluz, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zajan is ranked 19,187^th in the world and 330^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,054.72 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
