The Glorious Most High Empire of Zaxarium is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God-Emperor Zaxares with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 40.383 billion Zaxarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax Zaxarium. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaxariumian economy, worth an astonishing 12,809 trillion taels a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 317,201 taels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaxarium's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Obedience to the God-Emperor.

Zaxarium is ranked 956th in the world and 7th in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 25,829.34 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
