The Federated Island Republic of Zocra is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Howard Lewis Derby with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 29.532 billion Zocrans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tíío. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zocran economy, worth a remarkable 3,457 trillion zurcais a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,082 zurcais, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Zocrans, children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zocra's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zocra is ranked 243,994^th in the world and 26^th in United Alliances for Highest Drug Use, scoring 59.51 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
