The Queendom of Zarbikia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.59 billion Zarbikians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The strong Zarbikian economy, worth 451 trillion atzzes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,476 atzzes, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, increasing numbers of children in Zarbikia have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Zarbikia's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Zarbikia is ranked 112,778^th in the world and 42^nd in Sparkalia for Smartest Citizens, with 34.64 quips per hour.
