The State of Zygo is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 14.104 billion Zygoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zygoan economy, worth 220 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 15,637 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, genetic researchers have been expelled, Harry Potter books are banned, and science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zygo's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zygo is ranked 19,278th in the world and 2nd in Manchester for Most Stationary, with 1,645.8662730338 days.
