The Dr Pepper Ingredients of Zombie 23 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Outback Stein with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, avowedly heterosexual populace, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.946 billion Zombie 23ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of On-the-Moon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 23ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,613 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 238,754 lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 23's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Paparazzism.

Zombie 23 is ranked 911^th in the world and 25^th in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 493.24 kickbacks per hour.
