The Republic of Zhrini is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 315 million Zhrinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Zhrinian economy, worth 18.8 trillion Zhrinian manetotolese a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,669 Zhrinian manetotolese, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, and robosexual marriages are increasingly common. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhrini's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zhrini is ranked 43,416^th in the world and 108^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Developed, scoring 68.01 on the Human Development Index.
