The United States of Zelandonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 16.056 billion Zelandonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zelandonia City. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Zelandonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,777 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,004 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to, the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime is totally unknown. Zelandonia's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Zelandonia is ranked 12,523^rd in the world and 797^th in Lazarus for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,066.04 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
