The Free Land of Zutu is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Arch chief Sam with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.962 billion Zutuans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sun Hut. The average income tax rate is 16.8%.

The Zutuan economy, worth 321 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,733 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Potatoes are known for their lead aftertaste, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, euthanasia is illegal, and new religious sects are squashed immediately by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zutu's national animal is the Bull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Samite.

Zutu is ranked 112,706^th in the world and 6^th in Aeterna Regnum for Fattest Citizens, with 10.84 Obesity Rate.
