The The Hydrogenated Dirigible of Zeppekash is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bonzo Crowley with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 1.925 billion Kashians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ZoSo. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zeppekashian economy, worth 226 trillion Kashmirs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,881 Kashmirs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Lending money has become a major liability, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Zeppekash, and 'Coloniser-in-Chief' has become Bonzo Crowley's new moniker. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeppekash's national animal is the Immolated Icarus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wyztful Zynizizm.

Zeppekash is ranked 103,677^th in the world and 1,113^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
