The Republic of Zerulthe is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning leopard population. The hard-working population of 16 million Zerultheans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.1%.

The Zerulthean economy, worth 766 billion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,907 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zerulthe's national animal is the leopard.

Zerulthe is ranked 259,224^th in the world and 15^th in BUCHAREST CITY for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
