The Unitary State of Zimmerdachen is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Glorious Sun Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its feral children, smutty television, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.56 billion Zimmerdens are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haben. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zimmerdachian economy, worth a remarkable 7,194 trillion Rauns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 349,928 Rauns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zimmerdachen's national animal is the Frog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zimmerdachen is ranked 59,359^th in the world and 2,883^rd in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 74.84 on the Human Development Index.
