The Rogue Nation of Zombie 34 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Bacall with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.479 billion Zombie 34ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boggart. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 34ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,508 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 295,864 bitcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 869,399 per year while the poor average 79,322, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The Zombie 34 Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, and elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 34'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 Brains.

Zombie 34 is ranked 36,248th in the world and 314th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,246.14279274588 days.
