The State of ZX is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.919 billion ZXians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong ZXian economy, worth 597 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 31,606 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,885 per year while the poor average 1,698, a ratio of 126 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, ZX has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, a major religion has been named as ZX's national religion, and the Governor has just been declared ruler of ZX in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. ZX's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ZX is ranked 97,902^nd in the world and 171^st in Omega Prime for Most Primitive, scoring -12.25 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
