The Sultanate of Zahootan is a titanic, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.513 billion Zahootanians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tehran. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zahootanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,924 trillion rials 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, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 201,519 rials, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has incinerated the international climate treaty in a public coal-burning ceremony, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, it is common to see Maxémon Trainer listed on Zahootanian resumés, and it's entirely possible foreign diplomats misheard when Zahootan offered the words "peace be upon you". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zahootan's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Zahootan is ranked 330,781^st in the world and 8^th in Iran for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -20.71 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
