OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of Zupla is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Leon with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.45 billion Zuplans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pax. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Zuplan economy, worth a remarkable 2,960 trillion Zuplan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 204,896 Zuplan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, there is a law against "filthy foreign food", and sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort. Crime is totally unknown. Zupla's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zupla is ranked 4,851st in the world and 216th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 170 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
