The Republic of Byzkorda is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.34 billion Byzkordans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Byzkordan economy, worth a remarkable 2,897 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 234,796 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 719,446 per year while the poor average 59,315, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Leader has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, expats return home to a government devoid of social and environmental agencies, estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Byzkorda's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Byzkorda is ranked 16,112th in the world and 997th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 71.38 quips per hour.
