Zwangzug is an inoffensive centrist democracy in the West Pacific.
Culture
The national anthem of Zwangzug is, appropriately, Anthem by Tim Rice, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson.
Language
English is the de facto official language of Zwangzug, though there is much good-natured controversy between "descriptive" (verbose) and "algebraic" (compact) speakers, or notators. They are often regarded as separate dialects.
One difficulty is the terminology for residents of the country. Descriptive notators generally accept "Zwangzugian", though pronunciation is difficult. Algebraic notators prefer, mostly sarcastically, "peons".
Religion
Zwangzug is a secular state, and religion is not discussed on public land. The majority of residents are nonreligious, but some follow Ketrianism (a religion practiced nowhere else), and there is even a Christian minority.
Foreign Relations
Claiming uninterest in obeying others' decisions, Zwangzug refuses to join the United Nations.
