The State of Zue is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.141 billion Zueans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 51.7%.

The very strong Zuean economy, worth a remarkable 1,281 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 34,498 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, all tariffs have been abolished, Zue has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Zue in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zue's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zue is ranked 69,181^st in the world and 1^st in Aruba for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,467.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
