The Republic of Zamkanda is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8 million Zamkandans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The thriving Zamkandan economy, worth 570 billion Dogecoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 71,271 Dogecoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,260 per year while the poor average 7,419, a ratio of 49.9 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, third world countries are rich in "I Love Zamkanda City" t-shirts, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zamkanda's national animal is the Pepe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zamkanda is ranked 316,750^th in the world and 736^th in NationStates for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 5.99 Effective Tax Rate.
