The Republic of Zraswuka is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.899 billion Zraswukans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Administration is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wahrtsbek. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The powerhouse Zraswukan economy, worth 444 trillion gurožchies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 90,644 gurožchies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 362,576 per year while the poor average 15,220, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, a wide-ranging purge of leading officials and family members is being carried out by Leader, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zraswuka's national animal is the lamb vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Akrhozate of Zraswuka.

Zraswuka is ranked 85,263^rd in the world and 1,136^th in The East Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 1,079.13 milliStalins.
