The People's Republic of Zakanda is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Declan Webster with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 35.694 billion Zakandans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asina. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zakandan economy, worth a remarkable 8,875 trillion pounds 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 Tourism, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 248,660 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly, even secular Zakandans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime is totally unknown. Zakanda's national animal is the ocelot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Zakanda is ranked 289,459^th in the world and 11,284^th in Lazarus for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.38 kickbacks per hour.
