The United Socialist Republic of Zynax is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Candelaria Perez Isiordia with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.185 billion Zynaxians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaiza. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zynaxian economy, worth 228 trillion Stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 104,671 Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Zynaxian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, every workday begins with group therapy, prisons in Zynax are the summer homes of murderers, and party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zynax's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zynax is ranked 137,841^st in the world and 161^st in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,312.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
