The Dream State of Zoos is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bart with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 24.741 billion Zoosians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwerp. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.2%.

The strong Zoosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,102 trillion Zans a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Trout Farming. Average income is 44,573 Zans, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 303,042 per year while the poor average 2,394, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, Nihilism has been named as Zoos's national religion, Bart has just been declared ruler of Zoos in an international press conference, and Zoos has designated Antwerp as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Zoos's national animal is the elephant and its national religion is Nihilism.

Zoos is ranked 128,761st in the world and 3rd in Dudsvians for Most Stationary, with 258.6044872708 days.
