The Deranged Gourmet of Zombie 22 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pantera with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.824 billion Zombie 22ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chad lake. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 22ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,185 trillion guilders 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 294,304 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, the news is showing footage of Pantera bullying an old man to the point of tears, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 22's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Cold Cold Heart.

Zombie 22 is ranked 6,179^th in the world and 76^th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
