The Soulgodian Commonwealth of Zebastani is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by PM Joseph Hadmirak with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.437 billion Zebastanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyro. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Zebastanian economy, worth 600 trillion Zelts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 174,633 Zelts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 803,874 per year while the poor average 22,975, a ratio of 35.0 to 1.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zebastani's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

Zebastani is ranked 20,272nd in the world and 77th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,750.09 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
