The Nomadic Peoples of Zamboni1 is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.208 billion Zamboni1ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zamboni1ian economy, worth 606 trillion Ices a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,205 Ices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teens graduate from front of house retail to the frontlines of war, billions of Ices are being blown on orbital weapons development, street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, and tourists buying prepaid smartphones are arrested for smuggling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zamboni1's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zamboni1 is ranked 242,682nd in the world and 199th in The Rubber Room for Highest Drug Use, scoring 60.87 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
