The United States of Zekyl is a small, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 40 million Zekylians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Zekylian economy, worth 2.76 trillion LECOINS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 68,975 LECOINS, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military spending recently hit a new high, and it is a silent spring in Zekyl. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Zekyl's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zekyl is ranked 27,366^th in the world and 1^st in Blue Topaz for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 64,284.72 Standard Monetary Units.
