The Voluntary Empire of Zkraim is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 699 million Subjects of Empire 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empire Zone 1. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zkraimian economy, worth 80.0 trillion Empire General Currencies a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,473 Empire General Currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's coasts have been left unprotected while the entire navy sits in Brasilistani waters, the might of the nation's air force has been deployed against people with sticks in boats, greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, and expensive show trials reveal the harshness of the nation's justice system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zkraim's national animal is the Emperor Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zkraim is ranked 305,226^th in the world and 681^st in Saint Osmund for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
