The Republic of Zach is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The quiet, industrious population of 4.876 billion Zachians 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 Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 25.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zachian economy, worth 184 trillion betales a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,881 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Zach's national animal is the deer.

Zach is ranked 200,669^th in the world and 4^th in Northern Territory for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 851.35 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
