The Confederacy of Zolehen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 15.86 billion Zolehenians 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 Education, Administration, and Environment. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zolehenian economy, worth a remarkable 5,473 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 345,090 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, and builders across Zolehen are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zolehen's national animal is the Gryffin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zolehen is ranked 163^rd in the world and 6^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 262.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
