The Republic of Zah Lanordia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 585 million Zahdis 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zahdia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.5%.

The Zah Lanordian economy, worth 42.2 trillion Gold Nuggets a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,145 Gold Nuggets, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 207,740 per year while the poor average 19,900, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Denied drugs and entertainment the nation's youth are taking to petty crime to alleviate their boredom, many believe that Leader's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and the strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by a Fox. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zah Lanordia's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zah Lanordia is ranked 148,186^th in the world and 22^nd in The Embassy for Safest, scoring 60.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
