The Imperial Republic of Zyrcrestia III is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 30.875 billion Zyrcrestians III enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zyrtulai. The average income tax rate is 4.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zyrcrestian III economy, worth an astonishing 12,022 trillion zyrces a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 389,387 zyrces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, men avoid even so much as looking at female colleagues, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zyrcrestia III's national animal is the trickster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Palmarian Catholicism.

Zyrcrestia III is ranked 2,214^th in the world and 10^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 16,576.44 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
