The Kingdom of Zagon is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7 million Zagonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Zagonian economy, worth 111 billion Venzes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 15,909 Venzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zagon's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zagon is ranked 155,640th in the world and 367th in Saint Osmund for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 580.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
