The Congressional Kingdom of Zinoca is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Xavier with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, devout population of 8.983 billion Zinocans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zinoca City. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Zinocan economy, worth 804 trillion Zinocan Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 89,560 Zinocan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zinoca's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zinoca is ranked 219,481st in the world and 36th in Regionless for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
