The Spooky Minister of Zunden is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.019 billion Zundenians 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 enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Zundenian economy, worth 224 trillion points a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,255 points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, the Zundenian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, Zunden successfully hosted the Code Monkeys Olympics, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zunden's national animal is the beast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zunden is ranked 245,167^th in the world and 1^st in Code Monkeys for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -5.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
