The Holy Colony of ZAFT Alliance Forces is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Zala with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.243 billion Coordinators are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Januarius. The average income tax rate is 52.2%.

The frighteningly efficient coordinators economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion Gundaniums 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 195,559 Gundaniums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

A National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ZAFT Alliance Forces's national animal is the Gundam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZAFT Alliance Forces is ranked 282,157^th in the world and 10,444^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 49 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
