The Disputed Territories of Zakaril is a huge, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 952 million Zakarilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.0%.

The Zakarilian economy, worth 42.5 trillion Pitchforks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 44,598 Pitchforks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the dance skills of Leader are said to be almost as subversive as their politics, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime is almost non-existent. Zakaril's national animal is the Anarchist.

Zakaril is ranked 246,808^th in the world and 9^th in ADR Multiverse for Largest Black Market, with 197 billion Standard Monetary Units.
