The The Hydrogenated Dirigible of Zeppekash is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bonzo Crowley with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.885 billion Kashians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Administration, with Defense, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ZoSo. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zeppekashian economy, worth 215 trillion Kashmirs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,193 Kashmirs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, getting a blood transfusion from a Kashian entitles a foreigner to citizenship, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Kashians like vultures, and ironic death by tasering is on the rise amongst door-to-door taser salesmen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeppekash's national animal is the Immolated Icarus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Wyztful Zynizizm.

Zeppekash is ranked 305,993^rd in the world and 3,006^th in the Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 22.77 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
