The ឵឵឵឵ of Island Zero is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Z3 with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.119 billion Islanders enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Furnace. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Zeron economy, worth an astonishing 12,830 trillion bits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 908,769 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, all you have to do is pray to get into Island Zero, theatre audiences often need a telescope to see the stage, and military barracks resemble five-star hotels. Crime is totally unknown. Island Zero's national animal is the tardigrade, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Island Zero is ranked 167^th in the world and 4^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 20,892.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
