The Dominion of Thus Sprach Zarathustra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Karl Frache with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.133 billion Zoroastrians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Curia Julia City. The average income tax rate is 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Thus Sprach Zarathustran economy, worth a remarkable 3,546 trillion Lindens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 318,572 Lindens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A rash of recently-elected candidates have begun to push Bigtopia-friendly policies, money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy, billions are being spent on a new island airport, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Thus Sprach Zarathustra's national animal is the Hunter Killer Drone, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nietzsche.

Thus Sprach Zarathustra is ranked 74,677^th in the world and 1,732^nd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,377.64 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
