The Federal Republic of Zhousheng is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sergej Napiчu with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.259 billion Zhoushis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kandan. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zhoushengian economy, worth 189 trillion Sekinars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,748 Sekinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It takes a village to catch a criminal, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, Zhousheng's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and Kandan spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhousheng's national animal is the Golden lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zhousheng is ranked 195,761^st in the world and 326^th in Anteria for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -5.16 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
