The Imperial Kingdom of Zecrya is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Kaiser Wilhelm von Wolfgang with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 4.111 billion Zecryans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronhaven. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zecryan economy, worth 454 trillion kronors 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 110,456 kronors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government policy is dictated by Roman Catholicism, hotels often double as quarantine zones, a few immigrants are better than no immigrants according to Kaiser Wilhelm von Wolfgang, and the fate of the world literally rests on Kaiser Wilhelm von Wolfgang's fingers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zecrya's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Zecrya is ranked 200,910^th in the world and 2^nd in Giathian Warehouse for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
