The Republic of ZMC Music is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-working, cynical population of 406 million ZMC Musicians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.7%.

The ZMC Musician economy, worth 22.1 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 54,534 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, Big Belly is watching you, and cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags. Crime is moderate. ZMC Music's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ZMC Music is ranked 160,578^th in the world and 5^th in RegionZ for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,093.2 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
