The United Socialist States of Zollias is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 10.126 billion Zolliasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zolliasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,611 trillion Ration Tickets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 159,109 Ration Tickets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, organ donation is compulsory, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zollias's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zollias is ranked 4,669th in the world and 20th in The Internationale for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.99 Effective Tax Rate.
