The Republic of Zackaroth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Leader Shepard Abdullah with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 30.751 billion Zackarothians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toss. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zackarothian economy, worth a remarkable 8,942 trillion Tokens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 290,793 Tokens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zackaroth's national animal is the Fire bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the High Leader.

Zackaroth is ranked 5,828th in the world and 1st in Sol Aeternalis for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 17,475.85 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
