The Dictatorship of Zerraf is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prince Lucas Tan'it with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.985 billion Zerrafians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Defense also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeraffia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.6%.

The very strong Zerrafian economy, worth 700 trillion topaz rings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,942 topaz rings, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

All news sources are under strict government control, notable individuals are granted land and titles, teenage girls in knee-length surfer shorts have become a cultural icon of Zerraf, and the government blames all suspicious phenomena on flying saucers. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zerraf's national animal is the bear and its national religion is Ra.

Zerraf is ranked 194,875^th in the world and 51^st in Mercenary Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
