The Republic of Zurahandia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 261 million Zurahandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zoračka. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Zurahandian economy, worth 11.4 trillion Zurahandian Cranbers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 43,646 Zurahandian Cranbers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, Zurahandian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and Zurahandia has designated Zoračka as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zurahandia's national animal is the Cran, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zurahandia is ranked 273,063^rd in the world and 23^rd in Mikrucka Valley and other regions for Most Developed, scoring 50.47 on the Human Development Index.
