The Empire of Zarynceion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Thaddeus Lucian with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, disturbing lack of elderly people, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.006 billion Zarynceians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lugard. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zarynceionian economy, worth a remarkable 6,988 trillion Imperial Zars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 388,129 Imperial Zars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, young people pass around flash drives filled with illegal music, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and only those who apply can study applied maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zarynceion's national animal is the Hunting Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Imperial Cult.

Zarynceion is ranked 311,110^th in the world and 6,485^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 3,105.04 Standard Monetary Units.
