The Great State of Dzuk is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rowan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.88 billion Dzukians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rownas. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dzukian economy, worth 259 trillion Karūnąs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 137,885 Karūnąs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

AIs make up a majority of the long-term warehouse population, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, youth call each other types of vegetables in lieu of government-banned racial insults, and the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dzuk's national animal is the Sphinx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Dzuk is ranked 14,473^rd in the world and 279^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
