The Federation of Zephyrine Republics is a tiny, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Zephyrine Republicsians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong Zephyrine Republicsian economy, worth 434 billion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 62,105 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zephyrine Republics's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zephyrine Republics is ranked 224,670^th in the world and 1,536^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,856.23 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
