The Dominion of Zsodor is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.799 billion Zsodorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The strong Zsodorian economy, worth 453 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 46,189 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, children's books regularly feature formerly distressed damsels suing their princes, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, and putting houses on stilts is elevating house porches and prices alike. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zsodor's national animal is the Cockatoo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zsodor is ranked 150,430^th in the world and 17^th in Greater Ixnay for Most Developed, scoring 55.98 on the Human Development Index.
