The Socialist Federal Republic of Zhopgrad is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Boris with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, rampant corporate plagiarism, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.051 billion Zhopgradians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poloville. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Zhopgradian economy, worth a remarkable 4,100 trillion Zhopas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 255,489 Zhopas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, foreign leaders are advising that President Boris's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, living well is no longer the best kind of revenge, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zhopgrad's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zhopgrad is ranked 175,695th in the world and 3,846th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 87.92350622892 days.
