The Free Union of Zeklandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Zeklandia of the Many with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.971 billion Zeklandren enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seklanden. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeklandish economy, worth a remarkable 3,525 trillion Klundraches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 168,118 Klundraches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, and arthritic surgeons with tremulous fingers reassure patients that they are in safe hands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zeklandia's national animal is the Zeggiln River Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Zeklandia is ranked 124,419th in the world and 256th in 10000 Islands for Most Extreme, scoring 21.22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
