The Supreme World Empire of Zaphorhiziya is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Ciaran Merlin with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, avowedly heterosexual populace, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.125 billion Zaphorhiziyans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vladiovostok. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zaphorhiziyan economy, worth 169 trillion Zaphorhiziums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 150,257 Zaphorhiziums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,366,007 per year while the poor average 1,890, a ratio of 722 to 1.

Atheists on vacation find Hinduism's scriptures make useful doorstops, the nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, it's not mass murder when the government does it, and it is typical to be greeted by a string of curse words in Zaphorhiziyan restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaphorhiziya's national animal is the King Cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Zaphorhiziya is ranked 305,048th in the world and 12,757th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -424.09 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
