The Disputed Territories of Zazeriel is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 79 million Zazerielians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 26.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zazerielian economy, worth 3.33 trillion Dolars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,168 Dolars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zazeriel's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zazeriel is ranked 52,686^th in the world and 1,301^st in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 102.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
