The Constitutional Monarchy of Zeekelonia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Zeek the Cruel with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, daily referendums, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 43.809 billion Zeekelonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beech Grove. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zeekelonian economy, worth a remarkable 9,180 trillion Zeekmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an amazing 209,567 Zeekmarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 630,588 per year while the poor average 54,332, a ratio of 11.6 to 1.

Frustrated teenage boys are told that if they like it then they should have put a ring on it, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, there is a thriving underground gay scene, and on-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Zeekelonia's national animal is the Eager Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zeekelonia is ranked 286,352nd in the world and 1st in Tunguska for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -50.89 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
