The Council Republic of Zulankan Representative is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 22.832 billion Zulankans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Zulankan economy, worth 234 trillion labor certificates 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, Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, 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 10,257 labor certificates, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zulankan Representative's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zulankan Representative is ranked 89,723rd in the world and 1st in Antifa for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 35.25 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
