The Zombie Apocalypse Horror of World War Z is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Max Brooks with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 29.199 billion Zombies are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dachang. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient World War Zian economy, worth an astonishing 12,147 trillion Solanums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 416,037 Solanums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,454,680 per year while the poor average 86,473, a ratio of 16.8 to 1.

Children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. World War Z's national animal is the Quisling, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Apocalypse Cult.

World War Z is ranked 293,793^rd in the world and 7,248^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
