The Free Union of Zeklandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Zeklandia of the Many with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.761 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 3,309 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 167,468 Klundraches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat. 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 205^th in the world and 3^rd in 10000 Islands for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 8,052.65 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
