The People's Republic of Zuopai is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Ernesto with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 1.285 billion Zuopaians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rénmen. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zuopaian economy, worth 231 trillion 圆 Láodòngs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 180,288 圆 Láodòngs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, concert halls sport signs proclaiming "No Shorts, Sandals or Swastikas", President Ernesto is frequently seen begging critics to stop insulting the government, and politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zuopai's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Zuopai is ranked 15,981^st in the world and 170^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,071 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
