The Federal Republic of Zunba is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maria Zusodai with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.763 billion Zunbai are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iwauli. The average income tax rate is 75.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Zunbai economy, worth 178 trillion Zans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 101,162 Zans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and the canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zunba's national animal is the Zebrata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zunba is ranked 17,813^th in the world and 19^th in Africa for Most Cultured, scoring 92 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
