The Republic of Zukish is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Zuka Mann Mannerian with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.703 billion Zukishians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zukapolis. The average income tax rate is 75.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zukishian economy, worth 987 trillion Zukish Laris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 147,388 Zukish Laris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists are not permitted to ask questions, there's a mortuary next to every Zukishian restaurant, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and all streets are privately owned toll roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zukish's national animal is the Mcxreni, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodoxy.

Zukish is ranked 24,802nd in the world and 1,412th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 85 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
