The Psychotic Depravity of Zombie 14 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Snowfall with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.856 billion Zombie 14ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lebazoa. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 14ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,063 trillion francs a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 282,240 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and traffic cops are puzzled to see that nobody exceeds the speed limits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 14's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Candy.

Zombie 14 is ranked 5,566th in the world and 54th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
