The Community of Zoomery is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.93 billion Zoomerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zoomeryian economy, worth 136 trillion zooms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 46,504 zooms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zoomery's national animal is the student, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zoomery is ranked 262,796^th in the world and 9,796^th in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 141 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
