The Commonwealth of Zurithe is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning rattlesnake population. The compassionate, democratic population of 488 million Zuritheans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capitol District. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Zurithean economy, worth 20.0 trillion bills a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,972 bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, a breakdown in Westphalian sovereignty has left political scientists dazed and confused, vaccinations are mandatory, and the news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears. Crime is totally unknown. Zurithe's national animal is the rattlesnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zurithe is ranked 275,139^th in the world and 1^st in Zurithe for Largest Populations, with 488 million capita.
