The Kingdom of Zzozona is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 378 million Zzozonans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zozanpan. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zzozonan economy, worth 48.3 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,824 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, and engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zzozona's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zzozona is ranked 145,896^th in the world and 7,697^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 12.71 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
