The Federal Empire of New Zora is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Mark Bluebird with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 10.143 billion New Zorans are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zorania. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient New Zoran economy, worth a remarkable 1,556 trillion Imperial Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,407 Imperial Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Zora's national animal is the New Zoran Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Zora is ranked 64,044^th in the world and 45^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Populations, with 10.1 billion capita.
