The Republic of Zuffix is a huge, safe nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 564 million Zuffixians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zuffix City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Zuffixian economy, worth 70.4 trillion souroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 124,872 souroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,738 per year while the poor average 32,995, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and the nation is known as the cheapskates of The Frontier Sea. Crime is totally unknown. Zuffix's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zuffix is ranked 274,248^th in the world and 983^rd in The Frontier Sea for Most Cultured, scoring 59 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
