The Purple Consciousness of Oldmanzakk is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 10.39 billion Oldmen are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zetapolis. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Oldmanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,866 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,670 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oldmanzakk's national animal is the Giant Oldmanian Koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oldmanzakk is ranked 241,607th in the world and 168th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Conservative, scoring 41.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
