The Republic of Zenjen is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Zakiya Umar with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.058 billion Zenjenians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Seaghton. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Zenjenian economy, worth 505 trillion Eskorencs a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,935 Eskorencs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prison visits increase substantially during election years, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, students do more community service than homework, and gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zenjen's national animal is the Welsh Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.

Zenjen is ranked 51,016th in the world and 38th in Lands End for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,432.82 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
