The Sultanate of Zoroastres is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.91 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Commerce and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 47%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoroastres's national animal is the camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the star.

Zoroastres is ranked 17th in Greece and 23,383rd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 3 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
