The Empire of Zamirskoje is a very large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 459 million Zamirskis 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zamirsk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 56.8%.

The powerhouse Zamirskian economy, worth 31.4 trillion imperials a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,465 imperials, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 215,799 per year while the poor average 16,605, a ratio of 13.0 to 1.

The government is lending a hand to private industry, national foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zamirskoje's national animal is the bear.

Zamirskoje is ranked 121,461^st in the world and 445^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,721.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
