The Basileia of Zantiom is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Zanaflex the Casual with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.007 billion Zantines have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zontanipolis. The average income tax rate is 22.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Zantine economy, worth 241 trillion Zircons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 120,116 Zircons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, disputed territories across The East Pacific are being claimed by Zantine college students, and students abandon classrooms for online education. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Zantiom's national animal is the Zorapteran, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zantiom is ranked 130,656^th in the world and 1,749^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,490.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
