The Federation of Zarulia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.834 billion Zarulians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quantico. The average income tax rate is 39.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zarulian economy, worth 363 trillion Zarulian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 198,071 Zarulian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, and calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zarulia's national animal is the Rabbit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is secularism.

Zarulia is ranked 25,832^nd in the world and 329^th in Europe for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 7.76 Bank.
