The Fiefdom of Zhu Yuan is a very large, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning bird population. The quiet, industrious population of 192 million Zhu Yuanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zhu Yuanian economy, worth 6.98 trillion ryous a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,371 ryous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, surveillance cameras are banned, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhu Yuan's national animal is the bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Zhu Yuan is ranked 228,195^th in the world and 1,507^th in Remembrance for Highest Food Quality, scoring 9.55 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
