The Organization of Zex Mafia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Zed II with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.669 billion Zex Mafians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Administration, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zex Central. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zex Mafian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 234,882 Pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 958,148 per year while the poor average 38,173, a ratio of 25.1 to 1.

Drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, elections demand a proportionate response, the government spends billions to retrieve millions worth of asteroid gold, and the roundel of the Zex Mafian Air Force has become an internationally recognized symbol of destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zex Mafia's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Zex Mafia is ranked 55,397^th in the world and 2^nd in RegionZ for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,999.47 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
