The United People of Zaire of Paseo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Representative Gloria Banza with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 19.897 billion Zaireans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouveau Zaïre. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zairean economy, worth a remarkable 4,530 trillion Zairean Dorees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,678 Zairean Dorees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Liondogs' dominate wildlife preserves, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime is totally unknown. Paseo's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Paseo is ranked 35,913th in the world and 2,340th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
