The Ancient Goose Brotherhood of Zukchiva is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Zukchiva da Yura with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.779 billion Zukchivans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seveni. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zukchivan economy, worth 740 trillion Florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 128,122 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gay men commonly complain about their time of the month, picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, Zukchivan watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. Crime is totally unknown. Zukchiva's national animal is the Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Zukchiva is ranked 9,392^nd in the world and 243^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 87.82 Effective Tax Rate.
