The Nobel Vigilante of Masked Zorro I is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Don Diego de la Vega with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 29.639 billion Masked Zorro Iians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pueblo of Los Angeles. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Masked Zorro Iian economy, worth a remarkable 5,974 trillion Silver Pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 201,571 Silver Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows, and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Masked Zorro I's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Masked Zorro I is ranked 293,127^th in the world and 791^st in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
