The Empire of Zufron is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The hard-working, democratic population of 187 million Zufronians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The strong Zufronian economy, worth 10.4 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,668 florins, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zufron's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zufron is ranked 107,515^th in the world and 105^th in Benigtopia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,322.44 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
