The Rogue Nation of Zaphod-Beeblebrox is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 26.098 billion Zaphod-Beeblebroxians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Spirituality not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.

The very strong Zaphod-Beeblebroxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,145 trillion Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 43,890 Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,401 per year while the poor average 2,358, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Zaphod-Beeblebrox's national animal is the Dent.

Zaphod-Beeblebrox is ranked 114,992nd in the world and 1st in Milliways for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,791.8 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
