The Monarchic Triumvirate of Ziegfernachkt is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ioannis Gamvriotis II with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.683 billion Ziegferians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nauclea. The average income tax rate is 85.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ziegfernachktian economy, worth 649 trillion Drefel Pauukas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,484 Drefel Pauukas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Ziegfernachkt to be bombproof, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ziegfernachkt's national animal is the Holy Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Ziegfernachkt is ranked 15,071st in the world and 57th in United Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
