The Fair World of Zyrox is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gelgisith with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 37.252 billion Zyroxans 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 large government is primarily concerned with Welfare, although Defense and Social Policy are also considered important, while Industry and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sheepsong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The large but stagnant Zyroxan economy, worth 413 trillion Brass Rings a year, is extremely specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Book Publishing. Average income is 11,098 Brass Rings, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, most ambassadors from Zyrox retire only a few years after being appointed, and suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zyrox's national animal is the mooselk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drakonism.

Zyrox is ranked 318,395th in the world and 12th in Dragon for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
