The Cossacks' Makhnoist Republic of Zaporizhistan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by the Soviet of Atamans with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.568 billion Zaporizhistanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mykyttyn Rih. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zaporizhistanian economy, worth 108 trillion grivnas 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 23,754 grivnas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Transgender and agender are on the education agenda, there's never a spare chair in the retirement home, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaporizhistan's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

Zaporizhistan is ranked 63,191^st in the world and 69^th in KAISERREICH for Most Primitive, scoring 44.16 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
