The District of ZyPhraetious is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by proctor with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.408 billion Zymen are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped ZyPhraetiousian economy, worth 331 trillion aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 24,687 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

ZyPhraetious has designated District City as its capital city, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and Proctor has just been declared ruler of ZyPhraetious in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZyPhraetious's national animal is the bovina, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ZyPhraetious is ranked 99,727^th in the world and 2^nd in Zambia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
