The Free Republic of Zantalio is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Volichizh Namyasike with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.554 billion Zantalis are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nichau. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zantali economy, worth 790 trillion nazakizhdats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 142,327 nazakizhdats, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 662,766 per year while the poor average 18,331, a ratio of 36.2 to 1.

Representatives soak in mineral pools at the new capitol building day spa, public buses smell like litter boxes, the media seems excessively interested in what Volichizh Namyasike is wearing this season, and citizens invest their excess cash in mattresses. Crime is well under control. Zantalio's national animal is the drasbujutipye turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zantalio is ranked 128,076^th in the world and 199^th in The UMNS for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,358.82 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
