The Free Land of Zara Island is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 265 million Zartards live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The very strong Zartard economy, worth 15.1 trillion Lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 57,013 Lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,972 per year while the poor average 14,253, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, the nation's hospitals are criticized for caring more about profits than patients, and there's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zara Island's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zara Island is ranked 280,825^th in the world and 697^th in Ancient Lands for Largest Black Market, with 41.2 billion Standard Monetary Units.
