The Free Land of AidZone is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.706 billion AidZoneans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The all-consuming AidZonean economy, worth 253 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 93,782 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has been declared supreme ruler for all eternity, AidZoneans ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AidZone's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

AidZone is ranked 5,551st in the world and 5th in The UMNS for Nicest Citizens, with 43.79 average smiles per day.
