The Dreamers of Zonzibar is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, prohibition of alcohol, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed population of 34.037 billion Zonzibarians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zonzibar City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.5%.

The very strong Zonzibarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,909 trillion bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,475 bars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to comfort a crying baby between the hours of 6 pm and 8 pm, people's charity begins and ends at home, libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zonzibar's national animal is the great zane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zonzibar is ranked 88,386th in the world and 4th in The Nudist Dreamland for Most Developed, scoring 64.54 on the Human Development Index.
