The Dominion of Thus Sprach Zarathustra is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Karl Frache with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 9.297 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 large, 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 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Thus Sprach Zarathustran economy, worth a remarkable 2,994 trillion Lindens a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 322,046 Lindens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and the nation's reinforced coffee tables are constructed to survive an atomic blast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 217,971^st in the world and 6,329^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -489.21 on the Hayek Index.
