The Multinational Corporations of Zaqise is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by the Chairman of Laws'R'Us Ltd with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.459 billion Zaqiseans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mbadi N'gouma. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zaqisean economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion zaqisean dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 347,446 zaqisean dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,197,127 per year while the poor average 3,862, a ratio of 827 to 1.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, mandatory state-funded classes teach Libertarianism, destitute AIs lurk around online bulletin boards begging for spare zaqisean dollars, and gift baskets often contain working nukes. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zaqise's national animal is the oviraptor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rampant and Unchecked Individualism.

Zaqise is ranked 105,683rd in the world and 52nd in Sovereign Corporate League for Most Developed, scoring 60.2 on the Human Development Index.
