The Nation of Zastarda is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by First Citizen Komahla Toez with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.431 billion Zastardans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Blessed. The average income tax rate is 89.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zastardan economy, worth a remarkable 7,046 trillion Zaspesoes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 266,615 Zaspesoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, more and more musicians are refusing to put labels on their sound, the tomato-covered corpses that decorate the nation's cities are a favourite amongst morbid tourists, and vaccinations are mandatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zastarda's national animal is the Grumpisnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Love.

Zastarda is ranked 10,464^th in the world and 5^th in Cielo for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 89.38 Effective Tax Rate.
