The Eaetafershe's Outpost of ZqB is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, rampant corporate plagiarism, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.125 billion Zeuquebeses are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Zeuquebese economy, worth 83.2 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 39,141 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, concert pianists lie about their occupation to avoid ridicule, and foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Zeuquebese ambassadors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZqB's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

ZqB is ranked 318,150th in the world and 285th in NationStates for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
