The Empire of Zukiya is a huge, safe nation, notable for its fear of technology, ban on automobiles, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 239 million Zukis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Welfare, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zukiyan economy, worth 13.1 trillion Zukis and Glorbs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,694 Zukis and Glorbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

It is a silent spring in Zukiya, the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, and foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Zukiya's national animal is the English crème golden retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zukiya is ranked 62,979^th in the world and 67^th in Covenant Shores for Safest, scoring 98.86 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
