The State of Zyre is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 10.513 billion Zyreans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.2%.

The Zyrean economy, worth 549 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,295 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is relatively low. Zyre's national animal is the deer.

Zyre is ranked 126,956^th in the world and 1^st in Memphis for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,517.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
