The Glorious Most High Empire of Zaxarium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by God-Emperor Zaxares with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 38.827 billion Zaxarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax Zaxarium. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaxariumian economy, worth an astonishing 12,036 trillion taels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 310,012 taels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

God-Emperor Zaxares's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaxarium's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Obedience to the God-Emperor.

Zaxarium is ranked 936th in the world and 6th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 25,897.29 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
