The Firefightian Colony of HighZealot is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ambassador Whiteclaw with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.111 billion Colonists 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Firefights Embassy. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Imperial economy, worth a remarkable 5,323 trillion thrones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 220,792 thrones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, military spending is on the increase, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HighZealot's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Imperial Cult.

HighZealot is ranked 6,684^th in the world and 1^st in Scandavius for Most Corrupt Governments, with 192.29 kickbacks per hour.
