The Technocratic Imperium of New Ziedrich is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Ernst Ziedrich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.851 billion New Ziedrichers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ziedrich. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient New Ziedrisch economy, worth a remarkable 5,705 trillion ISCS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 338,579 ISCS, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,163,419 per year while the poor average 21,729, a ratio of 99.6 to 1.

Cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Ziedrich's national animal is the armored land squid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Ziedrich Nationalism.

New Ziedrich is ranked 34,335th in the world and 3rd in Corporate Sector W29 for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
