The Bolivarian Republic of Zulania is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.293 billion Zulanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.3%.

The strong Zulanian economy, worth 68.0 trillion bolivars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 52,574 bolivars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Zulania has designated Zulania City as its capital city, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulania's national animal is the jaguar.

Zulania is ranked 156,839th in the world and 7,280th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 507.61 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
