The Rogue Nation of Zakoreckzo is a small, economically powerful nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 20 million are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Social Welfare, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Arms Manufacturing.
The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the death penalty has been reintroduced, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, and married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Zakoreckzo's national animal is the titan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the zoros.
