The Soulgodian Commonwealth of Zebastani is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by PM Joseph Hadmirak with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.437 billion Zebastanians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zebastanian economy, worth 600 trillion Zelts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 174,854 Zelts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 804,890 per year while the poor average 23,004, a ratio of 35.0 to 1.

Popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, and politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zebastani's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Zebastani is ranked 20,194th in the world and 76th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,754.2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
