The Confederacy of Zoran is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 545 million Zoranians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoradia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zoranian economy, worth 51.7 trillion Zorallas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 94,919 Zorallas, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, light entertainment isn't dead, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the government has pinkie-promised never to use its veto power except in an emergency. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zoran's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zoran is ranked 106,023^rd in the world and 3,639^th in the West Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 17.64 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
