The Chaotic Nightmare Nation of Zandos is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by High Memer Eggward The Third with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 2.407 billion Zandosians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zandia. The average income tax rate is 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zandian economy, worth 547 trillion Zandollas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 227,669 Zandollas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, dandruff and athlete's foot are seen as signs of physical beauty, and royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Zandos's national animal is the D U C C, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduccism.

Zandos is ranked 339,865^th in the world and 5,883^rd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
