The Theocracy of Zocor is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.568 billion Zocorians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zocorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,287 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,522 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, the parliament doubled in size recently, children keel over while singing "Leader Gives Us the Water of Life", and adultery has been made a capital offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zocor's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zocor is ranked 25,439th in the world and 1,635th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
