The Republic of Zypra is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Hailée Éloise with an even hand, and notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 4.72 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of xxxx. The average income tax rate is 67%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Urban citizens are forced onto public transport while rural citizens ride horses and buggies, the government has enacted freedom of information, the ban on cars has been repealed, and the richest citizens live in sheltered private citadels. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Zypra's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Zyprian Credit.

Zypra is ranked 4th in Kosmopol and 79,272nd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 95 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
