The Empire of Zuuri is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Taari Tagayama with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 9.882 billion Zuurians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sokar. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zuurian economy, worth 818 trillion Rins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,869 Rins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Taari Tagayama's wardrobe, and Taari Tagayama claims to be the epitome of family values. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zuuri's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zuuri is ranked 203,994^th in the world and 77^th in Equiterra for Most Extreme, scoring 14.82 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
