The Glorious Most High Empire of Zaxarium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by God-Emperor Zaxares with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 38.79 billion Zaxarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax Zaxarium. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaxariumian economy, worth an astonishing 12,006 trillion taels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 309,522 taels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aims of top-secret Zaxariumian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, fat-shaming is now public policy, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and protests are legal but strictly supervised. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaxarium's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Obedience to the God-Emperor.

Zaxarium is ranked 169th in the world and 1st in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Most Cultured, scoring 733 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
