The People's Democracy of Zuha is a massive, genial nation, ruled by COM-2000 with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.219 billion Comrades love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jiho. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zuhan economy, worth 316 trillion Social Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 142,697 Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, the government is proudly free of crabs, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zuha's national animal is the Great Red-Chested Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheeism.

Zuha is ranked 7,229^th in the world and 355^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 482.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
