The Republic of Zuerich is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.661 billion Zürchers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zürich. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The very strong Zürcher economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 68,281 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,258 per year while the poor average 14,607, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Voting is compulsory, Zuerich has designated Zürich as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Zuerich in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Zuerich's national religion. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zuerich's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is a major religion.

Zuerich is ranked 113,501^st in the world and 5^th in Swiss Confederation for Most Patriotic, with 14.99 flags saluted per person per day.
