The Chaotic Nightmare Nation of Zandos is a massive, genial nation, ruled by High Memer Eggward The Third with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 1.768 billion Zandosians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zandia. The average income tax rate is 48.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zandian economy, worth 332 trillion Zandollas 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 impressive 187,931 Zandollas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The digital money revolution has cashed out, bitter pastors forced to officiate gay marriage 'accidentally' pronounce couples "husband and abomination", artists are renowned for their ability to make art pieces out of thin air, and all the world's a stage for Zandian political theatrics. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zandos's national animal is the D U C C, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduccism.

Zandos is ranked 7,205^th in the world and 202^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 97,348.41 Standard Monetary Units.
