The Republic of ZX005 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.5 billion zoovians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.5%.

The frighteningly efficient ZX005ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,472 trillion XXXES 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 128,074 XXXES, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of XXXES are being blown on orbital weapons development, the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (ZX005 has found 1 easter egg), passengers often cause a stink on public transport, and money grows on trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZX005's national animal is the devibodeez, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

ZX005 is ranked 285,309^th in the world and 10,708^th in Osiris for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.88 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
