The Psychotic Depravity of Zombie 8 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Jessies Girl with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.854 billion Zombie 8ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastrop. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 8ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,059 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 256,036 kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,013,542 per year while the poor average 43,734, a ratio of 23.2 to 1.

Bureaucrats close new businesses for not complying with the Penguin Packaging Index, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 8's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Critical Thinking.

Zombie 8 is ranked 20,140th in the world and 226th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,614.242369662 days.
