The Federated Island Republic of Zocra is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Howard Lewis Derby with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 25.901 billion Zocrans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tíío. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zocran economy, worth a remarkable 2,736 trillion zurcais a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,654 zurcais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

One of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, breaking rocks in the hot sun now involves using your head, laborers are building walls and making Wezeltonia pay for it, and on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zocra's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zocra is ranked 135,097th in the world and 9th in United Alliances for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,333.16 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
