The Confederacy of Ziria Streend is a small, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 23 million Ziria Streendians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The strong Ziria Streendian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Shekels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 65,089 Shekels, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The only women behind bars are barmaids, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Ziria Streend's national animal is the Thylacine, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ziria Streend is ranked 89,435^th in the world and 1,862^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,714.94 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
