The Republic of Zynthari is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Elizabeth with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.253 billion Zyntharians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Defense, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lopez Ville. The average income tax rate is 37.2%.

The all-consuming Zyntharian economy, worth 118 trillion Zyntharian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,238 Zyntharian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and deceased relatives are considered property to buy and sell. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zynthari's national animal is the Peacock, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Zynthari is ranked 243,256^th in the world and 3,748^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.7 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
