The Kingdom of Zposaol is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 10.334 billion Zposaolians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Zposaolian economy, worth 488 trillion Deneroes 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 Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. 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 47,301 Deneroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, the military struggles with recruitment, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, and the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zposaol's national animal is the Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zposaol is ranked 236,791st in the world and 12,763rd in Balder for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
