The ឵឵឵឵ of Island Zero is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Z3 with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.084 billion Islanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Furnace. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeron economy, worth an astonishing 12,763 trillion bits 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, 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 a breathtaking 906,257 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, Zeron tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes. Crime is totally unknown. Island Zero's national animal is the tardigrade, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Island Zero is ranked 122,603^rd in the world and 24^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,074.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
