The Reformed Demonic Assembly of Zaktoutr is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by He Who Is Not to be Named with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, disturbing lack of elderly people, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 38.31 billion Zaktoutrians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zaktoutrian economy, worth an astonishing 25,686 trillion Souls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 670,487 Souls, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,223,690 per year while the poor average 44,699, a ratio of 94.5 to 1.

Protestors are soaking piles of Souls in blood to make a point about government incomes, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Zaktoutr's national animal is the Devil, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Church of the Abyss.

Zaktoutr is ranked 681st in the world and 1st in Awful Circle for Most Stationary, with 5,219.66332608 days.
