The Chaotic Nightmare Nation of Zandos is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by High Memer Eggward The Third with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.118 billion Zandosians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zandia. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,712 trillion Zandollas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 279,830 Zandollas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A video of High Memer Eggward The Third wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zandos's national animal is the D U C C, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduccism.

Zandos is ranked 4,361^st in the world and 132^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 279,830.41 Standard Monetary Units.
