The Republic of Zyropia is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 100 million Zyropians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zyropian economy, worth 5.46 trillion Zyropian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,624 Zyropian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

It's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Leader's childhood, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, and teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zyropia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zyropia is ranked 82,443^rd in the world and 2,438^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 90.02 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
