The Rogue Nation of Zombie 42 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Unkempt with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.489 billion Zombie 42ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strauber. The average income tax rate is 82.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Zombie 42ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,325 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 273,984 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The entire entry for Zombie 42 in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zombie 42's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Brains.

Zombie 42 is ranked 5,633^rd in the world and 59^th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
