The Allied States of Zambet Fata is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Artur Gaina with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 25.03 billion Zambets have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pepper City. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zambet Fatan economy, worth a remarkable 2,436 trillion Volars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,343 Volars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that President Artur Gaina has won three lotteries in a row, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, and pledging just four hours of spare time to police work earns a named credit on the government's official website. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zambet Fata's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Enlightenism.

Zambet Fata is ranked 197,995^th in the world and 2^nd in United Nations UN for Largest Black Market, with 507 billion Standard Monetary Units.
