The Armed Republic of Zargstadt is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 305 million Sovereign Citizens enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.7%.

The all-consuming Zargstadtian economy, worth 25.4 trillion Freedombucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 83,280 Freedombucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, and sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zargstadt's national animal is the Cyber Wombat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zargstadt is ranked 106,433^rd in the world and 8^th in The Anduavas for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,041.17 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
