The Neocommunist Despotism of Zutroy is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Party Central Committee with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 35.098 billion Zutrons are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zutron economy, worth a remarkable 9,425 trillion transferable work points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 268,546 transferable work points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soporific speeches from the Party Central Committee have left the opposition utterly knocked out, ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zutroy's national animal is the cadre, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zutroy is ranked 78,290^th in the world and 4^th in Red Army Headquarters for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 68.44 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
