The Prospering Empire of New Ziah is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Leonardo II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.935 billion Zians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zian economy, worth a remarkable 1,837 trillion qullers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 264,947 qullers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Online tourism reviews of New Ziah are suspiciously positive and amazingly similar, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. New Ziah's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Any.

New Ziah is ranked 22,253^rd in the world and 627^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 44.98 flags saluted per person per day.
