The Communist Ministries of The Zorgonny Wasteland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Azzra E House with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 26.038 billion zorgonnyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Administration is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Redding. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient zorgonnyian economy, worth a remarkable 5,945 trillion Melds 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 228,322 Melds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Azzra E House, criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, every workday begins with group therapy, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Zorgonny Wasteland's national animal is the Lab Mouse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Salvation Church.

The Zorgonny Wasteland is ranked 293,444th in the world and 1,373rd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
