The State of Zughe is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 14.179 billion Zugheans 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 prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 26.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zughean economy, worth 598 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,231 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, Zughe has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Zughe in an international press conference. Crime is almost non-existent. Zughe's national animal is the deer.

Zughe is ranked 163,324^th in the world and 2^nd in Western Africa for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
