The State of ZBT is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.013 billion ZBTians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The strong ZBTian economy, worth 635 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 45,315 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military funding has been stripped back, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. ZBT's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

ZBT is ranked 234,149^th in the world and 4^th in Plague for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
